According to Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears, Johnson tracked down Walton in the lot on Lenox Lane and shot him in the head. A friend who was with Walton and was armed shot and wounded Johnson.

As Johnson tried to drive from the scene, his vehicle struck a carport. He then checked himself into a hospital where police found him.

Investigators later learned the shooting stemmed from a "love triangle" involving Walton and Johnson.
