Derek Johnson Jr. was 19 when he was fatally wounded in a drive-by shooting in Savannah, Georgia. On the evening of Friday, April 24, 2015, he was sitting in a parked car on Glynwood Drive when a minivan pulled up and an occupant opened fire. The driver of the car sped Johnson to Memorial Health University Medical Center, but he died there on Saturday, April 25, 2015.
A minivan connected to the attack was later found wrecked on the northbound entrance ramp to the Truman Parkway from Derenne Avenue, and witnesses said occupants fled on foot. Within days the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department arrested two men: 20-year-old Thelron Gregory Winbush Jr., charged with murder and aggravated assault, and 19-year-old Za Kee Jaquan Robinson of Thunderbolt, who turned himself in. Law enforcement did not immediately release a motive. Funeral services were held at First Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church.
Did anyone in the Savannah area see activity on Glynwood Drive that night or know more about the minivan and its occupants?
