Overview

• Ferguson police say no officers were involved in the shooting, countering earlier rumors of an officer-involved incident.
• Johnson, 33, was shot around 8:30 a.m. Sunday at an apartment complex less than a mile from where Michael Brown was killed.
• One person is being held as investigators continue to gather information about the circumstances of the killing.
• Johnson’s 2014 account helped popularize the “hands up, don’t shoot” chant, though a Justice Department report noted witnesses gave varying descriptions of Brown’s movements.
• A separate Justice Department civil rights probe found discriminatory policing in Ferguson, and the current chief cites reforms including about 50% Black representation on the force and training on implicit bias and use of force.
