Kenneth Akil Johnson, a 19-year-old male from Fort Worth, Texas, tragically died on November 15, 2021. His death occurred during an attempted sale of a gaming system. Johnson had agreed to sell a gaming system and games to a suspect for $700. When they met at the 8500 block of Ranch Hand Trail, Johnson counted the money and placed it in his pocket. However, the suspect noticed that the gaming system was not the one discussed in their messages.
As Johnson began to run away, the suspect pulled out a gun and fired two shots into the ground, warning Johnson to stop. Despite this, Johnson continued to run, prompting the suspect to fire multiple gunshots towards him, with one bullet striking Johnson. The suspect provided medical care while a witness called 911, but medical personnel pronounced Johnson dead at the scene.
An arrest warrant was issued for the suspect, identified as Mateo Deanda, a 34-year-old man. Deanda was arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with Johnson's death. This case remains an ongoing investigation.
