Timothy Johnson, 37

Timothy Johnson, 37, a black man, was shot multiple times at 939 E. 92nd Street in Watts at about 3:23 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 25, and died at the scene. Police officers had received a "shots fired" call and found him. He had been visiting friends in the area.

He had gone to a party that night, then had stopped on his way home to socialize with friends outside. His shooters came by walking or driving. He was hit multiple times. When officers arrived, he was alone, dead on the ground, and the people who had been outside with him had disappeared. A pit-bull puppy chained in the yard was curled on his body.

please can you find more info out. do you know how many times he was shot? what kind of gun? and please inform me thank you

[Khaleelah Muhammad]

Would like further information on this. How long was the police officer at the scene? Did he die on the scene or at the hospital? How many officers responded to the call?

[Saurice Dixon]

I would like to say that this was a sinceless murder and my prayers go out to his family and especially his children. Timothy was a real man and great friend to all those that he considered a friend. It's sad to know that this happened to such a real person while visiting friends. I ask that if any one who read this and has information please let the police know. If not for your own reason do it for his children who had to wake up today knowing that someone took there fathers life. Just think how you would feel if it was your father,son or brother. Those children have to live the rest of their lives knowing that there father will never hug,kiss or play with them every again because someone decided to take his life.

[Sal LaBarbera]

My sincere thoughts and prayers go out to the Johnson family. I have known the family for over twenty years, through good times and bad. Being the detective supervisor overseeing the investigation, I can honestly tell you that we would appreciate any information regarding the tragic death of Timothy.
The reader's comments regarding what type of gun, how many times he was shot, any how many officers were at the scene; although curious questions...that will not solve this case. Cooporation from the many that loved him, and from people that may have information or witnessed this incident, will bring justice and closure to his family. Citizens can telephone the detectives at (213) 485-4341 or anonymously at 877 LAW- FULL

[Kidada T.]

My sympathy goes out to all your family and friends,but this one is especially for his wife and childrenthat I know personally.He is in a better place know and keep yourself together now, no matter what keep your head on your shoulders. I think about you from time to time and for me to come across a familiar face on this homicide report that I follow to be a little more informed on the type of shit that ocurring constantly in our neighborhoods! I'm truly sorry for your lost and take care of yourself and them kid's .I'll never forget were I came from.Thank You for everything. You now where to find me!

[Ameerah Salaam]

May Peace and Blessings be upon all those who knew and loved my very dear Family, Timothy Johnson…. This is an all too up-close and personal view of the situations that occur way to often around us everyday. No one could ever help me make sense of such an inhumane, reckless act of violence; but many questions need to be answered, to allow for closure, however curious it may seem, a great deal of healing is allowed through knowing; knowing how many times Mr. Timothy Johnson was shot, or how long was he without any medical assistance or law enforcement safety before his life expired, and what events (altercations/ random or scheduled contacts) led to the actual shooting. I would like to ask the Investigator who clearly illustrated the long standing rapport with Mr. Timothy Johnson’s family and also appointed as Chief Investigator on the case to please give your undivided attention to those unanswered questions that will allow for healing to ensue.

It is imperative that it be acknowledged that all we are all in pain and are heart broken over the lost of such a young and beautiful soul, but helping his children heal and grow in a positive light from this, and shower them with all the love that he will not be able to display in the physical anymore.

[Khaleelah Muhammad]

God graced us with your presence here on earth for 37 years. Though those years for you were sometimes a struggle you were able to impact so many people. The life of an African American Man in LA has proven to be a fight till the death. I am struggling now as I sit here looking at your picture. All the years we spent growing up together, supporting each other and just loving one another. I Love you!! You were my cousin by birth but my brother at heart.

Love Kim

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY HIS WIFE AND KIDS HOLD ON AND STAY STRONG WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND I AM PRAYING FOR MY FAMILY AS WELL I HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING BUT THE WORST FEELING IS WE HAVE NO ANSWERS.

TO MY AUNT AND UNCLE WE LOVE U DEARLY.
TO MY FAMILY WE WILL NEVER FULLY HEAL BUT WE CAN HELP EACH OTHER HEAL.

ANSWERS= HEALING THANKS

[Satisfyied Person]

To all the people speaking glowing words about this man...im sure some of you know and for those that dont, this man was a killer and it was known by LAPD that he has blood on his hands. Trust me he got what he deserved and what i prayed for. He now has to meet GOD face to face and face the people that HE has killed

[STREET JUSTICE]

"STREET JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED". I NEVER PERSONALLY MET OR SEEN TIMOTHY JOHNSON, A.K.A. "SINISTER" BUT MY COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THIS GUY IS THAT HE HAD BLOOD ON HIS HANDS. HE LIVED BY THE GUN AND HE DIED BY THE GUN. IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY THE LEAD DETECTIVE THAT "SINISTER" KILLED A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE ABOUT 3 YRS. AGO, AND THE POLICE IDENTIFIED "SINISTER" AS THE KILLER. THEY NEVER CHARGED HIM FOR THE MURDER BECAUSE ALL OF THE WITNESSES WERE RELUCTANT TO COME FORWARD. AGAIN, WE FORGET ABOUT ALL OF THE LIVES THAT "SINISTER" HAS TAKEN FROM OTHER FATHERS,SONS, MOTHERS, BROTHERS& SISTERS. MY HOMEBOY THAT WAS KILLED ALSO LEFT BEHIND A SON WHICH HE WAS NEVER ABLE TO SEE OR TOUCH. PRAYERS TO "SINISTER'S" WIFE AND KIDS, BUT TO "SINISTER", YOU LIVED AS A COWARD AND YOU DIED AS A COWARD. YOU KILLED INNOCENT PEOPLE IN BROAD DAY LIGHT, IS IT NOT IRONIC THAT YOU WE'RE GUNNED DOWN BY THE SHADOWS OF DARKNESS? ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE US SO I WONT. FINALLY, TO ALL YOU SUPPOSE TO BE GANG BANGERS, KILLING ANOTHER HUMAN BEING DOES NOT MAKE YOU A O.G., A REAL O.G. TEACHES AND REACHES OUT TO OUR YOUNGER HOMIES AND HELPS THEM REDIRECT THEIR LIVES TO DOING SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE, NOT BLACK ON BLACK MURDERS. IT'S SIMPLE, "TIMOTHY JOHNSON, A.K.A. "SINISTER", LIVED BY THE GUN AND HIS ASS DIED BY THE GUN. "STREET JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED"..........IT HURTS BUT IT'S REAL.....ASK SOME OF THE OTHER FAMILIES THAT STILL MOURN!!

[Fred Young]

To Khaleelah Muhammad your posting so resignates with me. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family, particuarly hid kids. May your family find strength and solace within one another.

It sickens me to come to this website and continuously read about the tragic deaths that occur on a daily basis in Los Angeles County. As an African American man and as a father I’m afraid for myself and my family. This fear is overwhelming and concerning. I'm almost certain others will and can relate to my concerns. A completely innocent law abiding person can be driving to work, school, church, grocery store, post office or the mall and become a subject on the LA Times Homicide Blog/Corners Case. And that's not a slam against LATimes, but it is a commentary about the plight of our Country.

I constantly read these ridiculously absurd comments about where people live "Why don't they just move", that does resolve the problem. Some people live in certain neighborhoods because they can't afford higher rents, as well as their family lives there, caring for ailing parents/relatives as well as it is not their desire to move. Whatever the reason law abiding citizen should not be made to be hostages by the community thugs.

I honestly believe there is a need to have the National Guard patrol some neighborhoods. If you’re a law abiding person you shouldn’t be concerned about this, maybe even welcome it. I think the police do a decent job, however their overwhelmed with this crisis. Additionally LAPD and the Sheriff's Department are under staff in relation to the county population.

[words of wisdom]

Dear Street Justice,
Please be ready for the back lash that your are going to receive. Do yourself a favor no matter how much you want to please don't respond to any postings that will be placed here negative towards you. I'm glad that you had a way to express yourself. Take care of you...let me say what they want, keep the faith and let the backlash roll off your back. Be strong and good luck and don't let them rattle your cage. Don't give them the comfort of getting under your skin. You were brave to come on this blog and write what you felt. I hope your dearly departed can rest in peace now.

[Thara Salaam]

TO YOU "STREET JUSTICE!!!" :
YOU CONTRADICTED YOURSELF BY YOUR OPENING STATEMENT!!! "I NEVER PERSONALLY MET OR SEEN TIMOTHY JOHNSON"!!! SO THAT MEANS THAT YOU DON'T KNOW A DAMN THING ABOUT "MY COUSIN"!! IT WAS VERY IGNORANT OF YOU TO SPEAK ILL OF SOMEONE THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW, OVER SOME HEAR-SAY!!! PEOPLE ARE HURTING, HIS FAMILY IS HURTING, HIS SON IS HURTING!! THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK, BECAUSE YOU'RE MAKING YOURSELF SEEM VERY IGNORANT RIGHT NOW!!
MAY GODS PEACE BE WITH YOU!!!
REST IN LOVE TIM!!
THARA SALAAM

[Shadarrah Madden]

STREET JUSTICE
It's very disrespectful to talk about someone that you have no knowlege of. You address the matter of your "homeboy" getting killed and that's all good but you wouldn't want someone to talk down on your "homeboy", so why turn around and bash Tim. It's just obvious you didn't think it over before you began to write everything down. And with that police shit, police are not fucking saints they lie too, so don't believe everything you hear!!!

[TAMMIE]

the forgivness and the love of God will keep you warm. I loved you then and i love you now .

[Shavon Bogan]

Since I learned of my cousin’s death I have read this blog daily. I have read the comments left by other members of my family and his friends sending their love. But what I read today by a person that has no idea who Tim was really angers me. Since someone that has never met Timothy used this forum to bash the man’s memory, I feel compelled to refute the negative comments left on this page. So despite what someone may have “heard” about Tim’s character, I am going to state what I know and it’s very simple. Timothy was a stand up guy and an absolute joy to be around. Never hard to please, never letting the opportunity to crack a joke and have a good laugh pass, intelligent, and just an all around good person trying to do the right thing in an environment where that can sometimes be hard to do. He was a great father, son, brother, cousin, uncle, and friend to all of us that “actually” knew him. Tim had a huge heart, and that heart greatly outweighed and overshadowed any of his flaws. So while it is easy to attack people from afar and make accusations while cowering behind the anonymity the internet provides, please try to understand that there are many more people that love him and miss him; and the thought of him being gone is still a difficult concept for us to grasp. Timothy did not deserve to loose his life the way he did, and the person or people that did this for what ever reason really took the wrong man’s life. Timothy deserved much better than this, and with that being said if anyone knows anything about his murder please come forward and do the right thing for Tim and give his family some kind of closure. It really bothers me that someone would post a comment as insensitive and brash as the one “street justice” posted, but I guess everyone has the right to state their opinions no matter how off the mark they are. But at the very least if you feel the need to speak so ill of the dead at least be big enough to leave your actual name COWARD!! And just like so many other people I love you cousin.

Sin:

You enriched my life, and I will always remember you as a LOYAL and TRUSTWORTHY FRIEND. Street Justice was not dealt out in this situation! Sin was by no means a coward, the cowards are the young homies that killed him in cold BL89D, and his coward homies that gave the order for it to go down. Sin was trying to live a peaceful life. He spent time with his children, took them to school and picked them up from school. He was about to remarry and was consistently seeking employment. The act of killing a human that doesn't want to kill you, but instead wants to squash all the bull, and just bick it, that's cowardice. I'm sure the Police have the leads needed and are just crossing the t's and dotting the i's..they just raided on 91st on 11/28/07. Its been trying for everybody that loves Sin on the 8, luckily for us we have learned and are on a road to rehabilation... REGARDLESS TO THIS "STREET JUSTICE" MUTHAFUCKA FUCK YOU! YOU DON'T KNOW MY HOMIE, TO KNOW HIM IS TO LOVE HIM!

Sincerely

Sinister will always be remembered as a LOYAL and TRUSTWORTHY FRIENDS. He was by no means a coward, the cowards killed him in cold BL89D, the cowards were his peers from 89st Family that gave the ok for those little snot nosed punks to murder him. Sin was trying to live in peace, he took his kids to school and picked them up from school. He was actively seeking employment which we know can be hard, and was about to remarry. "STREET JUSTICE", YOU DIDN'T KNOW MY HOMIE, SO SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU'RE A COWARD FOR PUTTING STUPID SHIT LIKE THAT ON THE COMMENTS. The detectives asked for information to help solve this case and allow his family to get closure. I AM VERY THANKFUL TO THE DETECTIVES WORKING THIS CASE, THANK YOU! We saw the raid on the apartments on 91st street, we know you are cossing the T's and dotting the I's. This has been a very hard and trying time for all the homies on the 8, we love and miss our OG HOMIE! But we on the 8 have learned and are in the process of rehabilation, we know Sin wouldn't want us to retaliate. But we still miss you Sin.."Where he stood stands an empty place, and nobody will be able to take your place.."

Street Justice; this page is not the place to exact revenge. As you can tell from comments; he has family that are missing him terribly and have nothing to do with this man's alleged illegal behavior. Please let them mourn their relative in peace. I don't know you nor this man but I do know the pain of losing someone dear to you thru senseless violence so my prayers are to all that have experienced this pain.

[BRENA]

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT IT WAS A BL CALL THE YOUNG 89's DID IT BUT WHICH ONE?

[Very Satisfied Soul]

While im sitting here reading all the glowing and beautiful words about this man, I cant help but to wonder of all the family and friends thats writing these words, how many of you really knew this dude. Im sure you knew his alias"Sinister" and im sure you all knew of his evil and sinister deeds. This man has blood on his hands I knew it, the streets knew it, LAPD knew it and most of all GOD knew it. This person, I cant even call a man, his spirit is now standing before GOD and the souls he has visiciously and prematurely taken from the other mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters and children of the dead whom they will never get to hug. Justice couldnt have come any better for this dude. He is a killer, and have killed for no other reason than his own selfish reasons. Now his spirit is before GOD to be judged and judged he shall be and after judgement comes eternal damnation for his soul. There is no sweeter justice than that which takes the sour taste out of your mouth and now- IM SATISFIED.

REMEMBER JUDGEMENT IS BETWEEN HIM AND GOD, BUT THE STREETS, JUST ARRANGED THE MEETING.

Karma sucks. We all reap what we sow.

[you no]

yeah i think the 89 did it anybody can find out its only six of them young guys

[you no]

yeah i think the 89 did it anybody can find out its only six of them young guys

[bad boy ygs]

why my ni89a died he use to always take me to the park with his son to play foot ball so know my ni89a resting in peace

[Satisfied Soul]

Here we go, to the sister Thara Salaam this was your family and you say we dont know a damn thing about sinister, the question and true question is did you know him? I dont think you did, i know its hard to believe that your so-called loving relative could be a murderer but TRUTH is- HE WAS...Streets dont lie...this fool murdered my loved one...and i think its great that his own HOOD did him..IT was bound to happen as he made many enemies.

Coward seem to fit him perfectly as he shot and killed like one..to his home boy
Keon Raleigh AKA G-man, you should take this as a sign and get out the game cause it aint working for us as Black Men...Right now you have a chance but them same lil homies may be lookin at you

[Keon Raleigh]

First of all why are you poor bastards comming to my homies blog and saying mean things. I would give a damn if the things you are saying are true or not. Sin can't read this blog, so all your doing is hurting his loved ones, we haven't done anything to you! Did we go on your loved ones blog and say negative thinigs to you? Leave us to mourn the lost of our loved one!

Keon Raleigh AKA G-man

[Keon Raleigh]

Reading these blogs is very upsetting. i'm very distraught by the comments people are putting on this blog. Some of you rejoice that a man that was at the beginning stages of rehabilation was murdered. You speak of Sin getttng what you prayed for. You are a cancerous tumor in your religion! What God do you serve that tells you to pray for the death of people? You talk about my friend spending eternity in damnation... what is wrong with you? I've never heard of any God that wishes any that He created to spend eternity separated from Him, so how do you talk about God and wish evil on somebody?
Some of you talk about the murder of a loved one.. you say my homie committed the crime. I know my homie was never convicted of any murder. I know anytime somebody died the Police thought Sinister had something to do with it, or that he knew about it. Sin got a horrible reputation in the late 80's and early 90's, but the man they murdered wasn't the same man with the reputation.
Finally, at what point do we re-evaluate a person, and see if they have changed? I make no excuse for the way my homie lived, and I know who he was. But when it came to our dealings he was a very trustworthy friend, we didn't always see eye to eye on things. Sometimes we wouldn't talk for a time, but if i needed him or he needed me all of that went out the window. I loved Timothy Johnson, he was very cool with me. I hope he can rest in peace..I pray all was good between him and his God

GOD BLESS YOU ALL
MOOKIE

[agape love]

to street justice I will truly pray for you, due to you shouldnt glorify anyones death no matter what mistakes they have made, and please dont use God's name likely! we all are Gods children, If you didnt know this man personally then you shouldnt be so quick to judge him, like you said in your message he has to stand before god, my advise to you is that you need to go back to the bible and read on the book of paul, he killed christians before God saved him and once he turned his life around he started saving christians,so let God do his work he doesnt need your help on who is right or wrong. So my suggestion to you repent and leave the judging to our heavenly father. I wont judge you I will pray for you, and to his family may God give you strength through your time of grieve, to my friend Tamara Johnson Im here for you girl and you know that and your family, Ive been there you know that I know your pain,

[Mrs. Cozette Hallman]

My prayers are with his children,no child should be without a Father,So I pray for Blessings & Confort for the babies. This person that everyone is speaking so highly of had his "OWN DEMONS" you speak of what a stand up "Man" he was well if that was the case he would have realized long ago that life is precious. He was not a "Real Friend" I am a mother who has losted her Son to death with sinister as the trigger man. He took my son's life,Nov.12, 2004
and he was right there beside him professing to be his friend. well what I say now is that my Son's death has been "vendicated" all vengences belong to God and it doesn't bring my Son back,he too have children that will never have the comfort of their "DAD" one baby he never got chance to see. God is the maker & creator of "Blessings & Rewards" my "Heart & Soul" has a "little" satisfaction because when I lost my Son to murder by the hand of Timothy Johnson no one would speak up to help stop the senseless killings.,because everyone was afraid,well this is what I say to that ,Our lives begin to end when we don't speak up about things that matter. God is good,and The Wrath of God is no joke.when he see God & my Son on that "GREAT DAY" that's when Eternal damnation will take place

[Mrs. Cozette Hallman]

To the babies and wife my prayers of comfort are with you.
this I must say because I have cried for 3 years my son was killed at the hand of this person timothy johnson.aka "sinister: The name sinister itself represents evil. my son also had babies that will never get a chance to hug or tell their dad they love him.life is short and life is precious. If he was just a trustworthy friend and stand up guy why would he take the life of someone that was trying to make it good for their family. I am hurt I am sick I don't have my son anymore because of Sinister,so I feel no pain for him nor hurt.because the life he led he was already walking with one foot on the street and the other foot in the grave.. Isn't it ironic how how sinister was killed the same month he killed my son.well I pray and have always prayed for my family,friends and loved ones those in need and for the leaders of our government but now I have to pray a special prayer along with my daily prayer and that's asking GOD to instill in me the daily strenght I need to handle whatevev each day brings because now I hurt ;Everyday, & I cry everyday.so on that note I say to all the youngsters and anyone who is out there carrying the name of being a "G" or "OG".Remember this "All wanna be bad gangster mother***f**rs are in the grave and those that are still blessed to still have breathe in their body are just living on borrowed time.Take the time to
teach and show our kids there more to life and accomplishments than sagging and bagging and hanging and banging.you can have a part in whether your life be long or short by the road that you decide to travel. Life is a journey and there are many stop signs,detours and warning signs and if you don't learn how to drive that vehicle (yourself) you will be like it is said .,you'll have a long way to go and a short time to make. My son can have some peace now as well as his family me I will hurt everyday.

[God knows]

Even a fiend can smile easily and show “love” with family and friends. But if this person is really who some of the writers on this post claim he is, please believe ... he will rot in hell because God's Word says so, not because someone with human form says so. They don’t hold the power of life and death in their hands, but the One who sees all does and if the devil was his friend (and it sounds like he easily did the work of the devil) than that is where he will get to spend the rest of eternity, only humans are no match for the snares of the devil so his wasn’t a wise choice. It is a blessing that he awoke to a change in his life but even though he may have changed, there is still the matter of the sin that went before him.
So, family, and friends of this man, impress upon your loved ones, your children, your cousins, nieces, nephews and uncles, ANY CHILD THAT IS WITHIN YOUR MIDST, even the man child in your life, that in Genesis, the first book of the Bible, God talks about like attracting like. In essence, you reap what you sow, later than you sow, more than you sow. It doesn’t amount to a hill of beans if you don’t believe God’s law because like it or not, it is what makes the world go around and your ignorance of what it means or your unbelief in the universality of it cannot change the outcome of what goes around, comes back around! Like attracts like and everything done in the dark will come to light.
It is a shame that so many hurting people have come forth with tales of woe about losing their loved ones to this man. I will pray for God to strengthen this family but most importantly, I will pray that those who are thinking of retaliating or “getting back” at the responsible parties will think twice. Seeking your own vengeance will reap you the whirlwind so let the law and God handle the payback. Speak to your children about getting to know HIM before their time here is done, and please to God make them understand that they are living a dangerous life of sowing and reaping if they continue to want to prove they are not cowards and that they have heart. It takes more heart to stand for something than to fall into something that will eventually take your life.
God bless all who are affected, from the victims whose lives he affected, to the family that loved him.
Stay strong and maintain control. It will save your life.

My deepest codolense goes out to the family of TIMOTHY JOHNSON. I can say i knew him he was close friends with my brither ( BIG ISE-B R.I.P). They were close up into the time of his demise. There was alot of controversy during that time back in 1999. What alot of people dont understand is that when you kill someone, you're really killing there family,and the people around them that holds them very close. No matter who it was. Whoever did it they didn't kill SINISTER they killed apart of his family an his children that only knew him as a father.
As far as Im cocerned I see alot of things posted about him but truth be told "ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE HIM". And this is a man whom was accused of playing some parts in the murder of my blood family member, my real blood. I never could say anything because I didn't know what actually happened all I knew was my family and I lost a loved one. Lawrence Bridges wasn't only killed apart of my grandmother died also, she raised him, apart of his aunts, uncles, brother,children, and one son who never even knew him and myself.
Any way, It took the real true christian person in my grandmother to hug and kiss him everytime she saw him. You have to forgive in order to be forgiven for anything you do , otherwise your a hypocrite. My family never knew what really happened but its something we'll never forget just a situation such as this one will never be forgotten. We on ly knew rumors and hearsay.And when I knew my grandmother forgave whatever part he rumoredly play in the death of my brother I cn forgive him too. GOD forgive and its as true as the days are long. Im sorry he was tooken away fom his family and I truely most importantly hope he made his peace with GOD!

to street justice and the rest of you negative writers, this has to end, get a life, what church do you go to, I think you guys are due for a baptism, due you guys even read god's word, leave my friend and her family alone to mourn, from here on out if you dont have anything good to say stop writing, go pay attention to your own family, or could they deal with your cold hearted self too. do me a favor tell me your church and pastors name so I can tell on you guys, he needs to know how his flock of members are acting, start going to bible study so that you can really know what you are talking about and get off the band wagon of your mother or grandmothers religion. know jesus for yourself, final words brother tim johnson cant read this but God can, so leave the family alone.

Det. Supervisor LaBarbera,
You said that you have known this family for over 20 years...did you also know about his man's reputation? is that one of the reasons he was able to get away with things for so long? I guess someone took care of closing out a bunch of old cases sitting on your desk. If all or even one of the postings on this site is true and this person took the life of another...I hope you put out a call for info and help when he was the suspected tirgger man. I don't think that you will respond to this blog but, I just had to ask and will ask again. Did you know of his reputation and the fact that so many considered him a suspect in the deaths of thier loved ones? And was this friendship the reason nothing was done to stop him and thus possibly preventing his death on the cold mean streets?

[Little Cousin]

As I read all of the postings, I am very saddened. It sounds like my cousin caused a lot of pain and anger for a lot of people and families and especially one mother. I hurt because of how my loved one affected so many people in such a negative way while he affected our family in such a positive way. We don't know, nor will we ever know if he actually did what many say he did. But now... that is neither here nor there. He is gone! Never to return.

What hurts is that fact that his death was not enough for people. Like many people said... Tim cannot read this. The angry words, wishes, and feelings are toward him, yet the people reading this negativity are his MOTHER, FATHER, SONS and DAUGHTER!

Is that your intent? To inflict more hurt on the greiving? Many of you say you were once in this families shoes... you lost a loved one. You know the pain and hurt. So you know what they are going through at this time. And to purposely inflict more pain with your negative, and hateful words in such a malicious way is down right evil! I am sure they are all aware of his lifestyle and what he ALLEGEDLY did in his past.

BUT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE! THEY DID NOT COMMIT THESE ACTIONS! YET YOU ARE INTENTIONALLY HURTING THEM... HIS MOTHER, FATHER, SONS AND DAUGHTER.

What ever your beef... it is with Tim... not the family and I feel that many of you are disrespecting this greiving family with your hate and anger. Again... THE FAMILY DID NOT CAUSE U TO HURT... HE DID! YET HE CANNOT READ THIS!!!!!!! THE FAMILY CAN!

I am exteremely sorry and saddend for ALL whom have lost someone dear to them due to this ongoing violence. But the fact of the matter is, next week, next month, next year and years to come, THE DEAD WILL STILL BE DEAD! We will still be mounring. Your negative words will not bring your loved ones back.

For those who somehow gained JOY from this tragic death... I am sad for you because that means you have a tremendous amount of hate and anger in your heart that only time will help heal.

Reading these postings is oh so heartbreaking! I cannot say wether he was innocent or guilty but now... he is GONE! That makes some people happy but it makes this family so so so sad!

The botton line is... ENOUGH! The family knows you are out there. You have made your point. We are aware you are in pain. Now let us greive!

RIP cousin. I will miss you!

Love,
Your little cousin

[This Hurts]

I am reading the responses here and they hurt. Instead of seeing the big picture here, you all are selfishly looking into your own small world. You don't see that another black man has died. You don't see that it is up to us as a people to stand-up and put a stop to this. We need to stop blaming the community and instead take back the community. Most of you are making "what goes around, comes around" comments, keep in mind that if you have young, bklack male relatives, these comments will come back around to you. Let us stand and beak the circle. My heart goes out to this family and the family of those that he hurt. Let us all heal and start anew so that our children will not have to read blogs like this.

First and foremost I would like to send out my prayers to the Johnson Family, I am truly sorry for your loss. He and my boyfriend were very close friends and I had the priviledge to have met him. He was very sweet, kind and respectable towards me and I will never forget that. I am not here to discuss what Timothy might have done or not done, that is not my place. But I do believe that God makes no mistakes, and that he has a greater purpose for Timothy. I sit back and look through this blog and most of the comments are kind and uplifting and then there are those that cannot even be commented on. I look at this as an example of the same deep hate that has taken Timothy away, and it just reminds me that we as a people have a long way to go. Again my love and prayers go out to the Johnson Family.
