Melvin Johnson, a 76-year-old African American man, was found deceased on July 17, 2015, in his Cleveland, Ohio, residence. His death was the result of gun violence, and he was one of three victims discovered in the home. The other victims were Nancy Worthean, 58, and K'yara Artis, 26. Reports indicated that the victims had been deceased for several days before their bodies were found.
In the course of the investigation, authorities arrested Dalevon Harris, who was identified as a cousin of one of the victims. Harris was taken into custody in Lake County, Ohio, in connection with the triple homicide. Subsequently, in August 2019, Nicho Fulton, a 26-year-old man from Euclid, Ohio, was arrested in Avalon, Pennsylvania, as the last suspect linked to the 2015 Cleveland homicide. Fulton's arrest was executed by U.S. Marshals.

He was remembered as a resilient and kindhearted individual who had a positive influence on those around him.
