On January 12, 2018, 46-year-old Darrel L. Johnson was fatally injured during a violent confrontation at his camper on Wardfield Road in Robertsville, Missouri. The incident occurred about 9:00 p.m.; investigators say Johnson sustained a shotgun wound and was later pronounced dead at the scene.
Franklin County Sheriff’s deputies and the Multi-County Narcotics and Violent Crime Unit opened a homicide investigation and followed leads that reached into Illinois. Authorities located and arrested 24-year-old Wesley L. Tatom of Salem the Sunday after the shooting in Waterloo, Illinois; he was charged with second-degree murder and held on $250,000 cash-only bond.
What details about the disturbance on Wardfield Road might help explain how the confrontation began or who else may have been involved? If anyone has information about Johnson, his movements that night, or witnesses, please share what is known.
