Julius Allen-Ray Johnson

Deadly force

According to police, officer Charles Anderson chased Julius Allen-Ray Johnson on foot after he fled a traffic stop around 1:20 a.m. Anderson reportedly confronted Johnson in a fenced backyard, and a struggle ensued. Anderson shot Johnson after he allegedly beat Anderson with his police radio and another "blunt object." Other officers responded and rushed Anderson to the hospital. According to police, Johnson appeared to have an arm wound that was bleeding profusely. Johnson died at a hospital. Reports said the bullet went through his arm and into his chest. The autopsy noted there were no cuts or scratches to Johnson's facial area. Anderson's head injury reportedly rendered him unable to provide investigators with details of the shooting for a few weeks. The Muskegon County Prosecutor's Office charged Johnson's sister with making a false report of a felony after she told investigators and the press that Anderson had shot her brother without provocation. She was convicted.
