On March 16, 2018, Adrian Johnson, a 42-year-old resident of Albuquerque, New Mexico, was fatally shot in a homicide that occurred at 2600 Americare Court NW. The incident was reported to the Albuquerque Police Department, with witnesses describing the sound of two gunshots and observing a Ford Excursion with Chihuahua license plates fleeing the scene.
Upon arrival, officers found Adrian Johnson with a gunshot wound, and he was subsequently pronounced deceased.
The investigation into Johnson's death revealed a complex and premeditated scenario. It was discovered that Adrian Johnson had gone to the location on Americare Court in the stolen Ford Excursion to confront a male who was also dating Johnson's girlfriend. Accompanying Johnson were two men, Kevin Geier and Toure Britt, who purportedly went to back him up in this confrontation. However, the investigation uncovered that Geier and Britt had actually planned to rob and kill Johnson.
Toure Britt was arrested on September 27, 2018, by University Proactive Response Officers. Kevin Geier, the other suspect, was already in custody in Arizona at the time of the arrest. Both men, Geier and Britt, were charged with First Degree Murder in connection with Adrian Johnson's homicide.
Adrian Johnson, born on March 14, 1976, in Omaha, Nebraska, to Ronald L. Johnson and Chyrl Smith, had a life that was tragically cut short by this premeditated act of violence. The arrest and charging of Geier and Britt marked a significant milestone in the investigation, bringing some measure of justice for the family and loved ones of the victim.
