An arrest affidavit filed in D.C. Superior Court on Thursday says Johnson was found injured lying next to a van in a parking lot between two apartment buildings on the east side of North Capitol Street.
Johnson had been shot several times, the affidavit says, and died at a hospital. The affidavit says the shooting was apparently the result of an argument that started inside an apartment. Police did not describe details of the dispute.
Authorities said they stopped a man fitting a description given by witnesses a short time after the shooting. Police said they later charged that man, D’Andre Brewer, 25, of Northeast Washington with first-degree murder while armed.
A D.C. Superior Court judge ordered Brewer detained and set a court hearing for April 28. Brewer’s attorney with the D.C. Public Defender Service did not respond to a request for comment.
