Description:
Littleton, Colorado criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with murder.
Johnson and the victim, T.J. Cunningham, were neighbors who had a contentious relationship and had engaged in several
verbal altercations over a period of many months. One Sunday morning, the two men got into another argument on the street in front of their respective homes. Although it did not become physical in the street, immediately after the two men retreated to their homes, Cunningham told his brother to come with him because he and Johnson were going to fight to settle their differences. Cunningham and his brother drove to a nearby high school parking lot. Johnson followed.
After both men parked, they exited their vehicles and walked toward each other. As they converged, Johnson drew a gun and shot Cunningham three times from a distance of several feet, killing him. Johnson then called 911 to report the shooting and claimed he had shot Cunningham in self-defense.
