Noah James Johnson

How they died

No

At 11:41 a.m., officers responded to a report of an assault at a store. Police learned three men were in the store, and one of them allegedly stole an item. An employee tried to take a photo of one, but was punched in the face. The three men left the area, and police began to search for them. About 20 minutes later, a deputy stopped a man, who reportedly matched the description of one of the men. He initially gave a fake name, but police eventually learned his identity and discovered he had a felony warrant for a felon in possession of a firearm violation. At 12:29 p.m., officers told Noah Johnson he was under arrest, and he fled. Officers chased him on foot, but lost track of him. A police dog found a scent that led to a shed behind a home. As officers approached the shed, they heard a gunshot inside the shed. There, they found the man with a fatal self-inflicted gunshot.
