Jermaine Johnson (2 of Spades, Arizona)

About this episode

Our card this week is Jermaine Johnson, the 2 of Spades from Arizona. 

In 2006, central Phoenix was shaken after a beloved member of the community was killed while he was minding his own business, hanging out with his friends. For 16 years, Phoenix police have attempted to hunt down the killers, only to hit dead ends at every turn. But they have far from given up hope because they know there are people in the community who hold the answers to the questions that have haunted the city since 2006: who killed Jermaine and why?

 If you have any information about the murder of Jermaine Johnson in 2006, reach out to the Phoenix Police Department at 602-262-6151, or call Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS — that’s 480-948-6377. Or 1-800-343-TIPS — that’s 1-800-343-8477.
