Benjamin Johnson, 34, of Banning, California, was fatally shot on September 26, 2015, during a violent crime spree that day. The first call came in about 11:36 a.m. for shots fired in the 700 block of East John Street; Johnson was later found in a vehicle and had been shot. Authorities say he was also shot while driving on East Lincoln Street, after which his vehicle crashed into a cement wall.

Police identified and later arrested James Paul Diaz, 34, of Hemet, in connection with a series of attacks that reportedly included multiple shootings, an assault with a blunt object at an AM/PM gas station, and firing at another vehicle (the driver suffered minor injuries from broken glass). Diaz was taken into custody in Beaumont after attempting to break into a vehicle and knocking on doors; witnesses said he repeatedly asked about the whereabouts of his children. The motive remains unclear and the investigation into the sequence of events and evidence is ongoing.

Did anyone in the area see Johnson’s vehicle or the white SUV described during the morning of September 26, 2015?
