Dion Johnson, a 28-year-old black man, was shot by a state trooper. The trooper noticed Johnson’s car was parked in the gore point off the Loop 101 freeway and was partially blocking traffic. The trooper found Johnson asleep in the driver’s seat. According to the officer, a struggle ensued that resulted in him firing his weapon at Johnson. A second officer arrived at the scene and helped remove Johnson from the car. Johnson was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. Sgt. Maggie Cox, a spokesman for the Department of Public Safety, said that there is no footage of the shooting as the officer wasn’t wearing a body camera at the time. The identity of the officer has yet to be revealed, but he is reportedly a 15-year veteran of the force.

Arizona law states that if an individual is falling asleep behind the wheel they must pull over their vehicle to rest as to not put any lives in danger. Dion Johnson followed the law and did everything right but still lost his life at the hands of an unjust and corrupt system.

This officer must be identified and held accountable for his crimes. We implore you. Release this man's information, let us know the face and name of the man who commited this horrid offense to an innocent human life.

Please help us get justice for Dion and his family!
