He has been on the run since November 17. Last week the Memphis Police Department issued a warrant for first degree murder and announced a $15,000 reward for information leading to his whereabouts.
Johnson previously served time behind bars after shooting three people at the Billy Hardwick Bowling Alley in 2017. He pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated assault and was sentenced to years in prison, but was let out just months later.
