Johnson was shot to death with a single bullet to the brain in the driver's seat of his SUV, during a dramatic confrontation with state police. The account offered by the shooting trooper fundamentally differed from physical evidence. The victim's family reached a six-figure settlement in 2009.
This record exists so that Preston Johnson, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
