Man fatally shot in car in Bronx was victim of road rage: NYPD
Johnson was shot in the torso and leg, while the other woman was struck in the knee and the man in the buttocks and arm.
All three were rushed to the hospital, where Johnson succumbed to her injuries.
Johnson has been a school safety agent since June of 2017 and was assigned to JHS 117 in Brooklyn, though she has been out on medical leave since July of 2020.
She was the mother of a 7-year-old boy.
Police say the current investigative theory is that the suspect, who was denied entry into the club because he was armed, is Johnson's ex-boyfriend and waited for her to emerge.
The suspect is believed to have fled in a white BMW sedan across the RFK Bridge into the Bronx.
No arrests have been made.
