Johnson was leaving a house that the Hamilton Police Department has hit with its SWAT team twice in the last six months for drug activity, according to Police Chief Scott Scrimizzi.
“We knew that location was a problem,” Scrimizzi said. “It’s so much of a problem that it’s a high risk warrant that our SWAT officers were serving those warrants.”
No further information is available at this time, police said
