Gregory Johnson, 59, was shot and killed inside his Richardson, Texas, home on February 13, 2025. Police were called to a residence on Wake Drive at about 9:12 p.m. after an 81-year-old roommate, Douglas Ervin, reported he had shot and killed Johnson. Officers found Ervin waiting on the front porch and discovered Johnson’s body inside near a bedroom; a third person in the home was unharmed.

A shotgun was recovered at the scene and Ervin was arrested without incident. During questioning Ervin said Johnson had been a difficult roommate and that a rude comment as Johnson walked past Ervin’s bedroom prompted him to retrieve the shotgun and fire. Ervin admitted Johnson was unarmed and not advancing when he shot him. Ervin has been charged with murder and is being held in the Dallas County Jail on $200,000 bond. The Richardson Police Department is asking anyone with information to contact investigators.
