Christopher Johnson, a 30-year-old man from Akron, OH, was involved in a tragic incident that led to his death on June 1, 2022. Johnson was previously implicated in the 2017 shooting death of Brandon Belleville. On September 19, 2017, Johnson and three accomplices broke into Belleville's home in the 600 block of Minerva Place and fatally shot him during a robbery.
The three other men involved, Quincy Chatman, Harold Burros, and Lamarr Jackson, were all arrested and convicted in Belleville's death.
Johnson managed to evade arrest for five years until he was apprehended by the Akron division of Northern Ohio's fugitive task force in Parkersburg, West Virginia, in late June 2023. He was arraigned on one count of aggravated murder in connection with Belleville's death. Johnson eventually accepted a guilty plea deal, avoiding a possible life sentence. He was sentenced to 23 years in prison for involuntary manslaughter with a firearm specification and four counts of aggravated robbery.
The investigation into Johnson's death is ongoing, and authorities are working to determine the circumstances surrounding his demise. The case has drawn significant attention due to the severity of the crime and the lengthy manhunt that led to Johnson's arrest.
