Zarkeshan and Sargent Craig Johnson were both shot in June 2020 after a routine traffic stop. The driver refused to step out of the car and was pepper-sprayed and hit with a stun gun.

ABC News shared details of the shooting shortly after, reporting that Johnson — a 15-year veteran — died of his wounds.
