Montrelle Dontae Johnson, 22, was shot and killed in Talladega, Alabama, in the early hours of Sunday, March 19, 2023. Known as Pie, Johnson was a 2018 Lincoln High School graduate who played running back and slotback for the Union College Bulldogs on a scholarship. Back home he worked at Talladega College, was training as a barber, and was a devoted father to a young son.

The shooting occurred at a large gathering at the Talladega Downs Apartments where between 50 and 100 people were present. Around 3:00 a.m. at least 10 shots were fired; three people were struck. Johnson and 23-year-old Djuante Nyjuwan Dickerson were critically injured and later died, while a 23-year-old man was hospitalized in critical condition. Within 12 hours police arrested 23-year-old Dennis Swain and charged him with murder; authorities said those involved were familiar with one another and that further arrests were possible.

Who has information about that night at the Talladega Downs Apartments or about Johnson’s death?
