Shooting at Good Hope and Teutonia
The double shooting happened near the McDonald's restaurant on Good Hope Road near Teutonia Avenue on April 24, 2016. David Stange died on April 25, 2016 as a result of his injuries in this shooting. Police said their investigation into this shooting revealed the victims were involved in an illegal drug transaction just prior to the shooting.
The criminal complaint filed against Johnson indicates the two victims and a third person driving an SUV, who spoke with police, "planned to come to Milwaukee to purchase pills."
After a transaction had taken place, the third person (driving the SUV) noticed a car with darkened windows following him and the two victims. He then "heard seven shots, and the shots were coming into the truck." This person then "slammed on his brakes, made a U-turn, and then drove to the McDonald's where he yelled for help."
