The incident occurred at approximately 10:30 p.m. on the 8400 block of Forrest Avenue. Johnson-Murray had recently moved to the one-bedroom apartment, where he lived with his three young sons.

him 17 times. He sustained gunshot wounds to the head and torso. Although a weapon was recovered at the scene, no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting. The case remains an unsolved homicide, and a $20,000 reward has been offered for information that leads to an arrest.
Known as 'Dom' to his friends and family, Johnson-Murray was a doting father to his three sons, who were all under the age of four at the time of his death. He was remembered by loved ones as a protective and loving family man who enjoyed sports, particularly football, and was a devoted fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. His family continues to seek closure and justice in his unsolved murder.
