On the evening of February 5, 2022, 17-year-old Christian Johnson was shot in the parking lot of the 7300 block of Hickory Log Circle in Columbia, Maryland. Officers arrived after gunfire was reported just after 8 p.m. and found Christian suffering from multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to Howard County General Hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators say the shooting does not appear to have been random and that Christian likely knew his attacker. Howard County police opened an intensive investigation and have not publicly identified any suspects or announced arrests. A reward of up to $5,000 has been offered for tips that lead to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone has information about Christian, his movements that evening, or the people he knew in that area, please share what you know with Howard County police.
