2 minute read

Former New York Jets running back Chris Johnson was shot in the shoulder early Sunday morning in Orlando in an incident that left one man dead and another wounded, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

Johnson is in stable condition at a local hospital. He is expected to make a full recovery, according to multiple reports.

According to police, the shooting occurred just after 4 a.m. near the Florida Mall in south Orlando. The driver of the vehicle Johnson was riding in, 28-year-old Dreekins Oriko Johnson, was killed.

Authorities arrived at the scene shortly after the incident to find the driver of the vehicle dead and two other gunshot victims on a nearby sidewalk, police said. The victims told authorities another vehicle pulled up beside them at a stoplight and a passenger in that vehicle opened fire at their Jeep.

The third passenger, Reggie Johnson, was shot in the shoulder, hand and leg and was also in stable condition at a hospital. Police didn’t list the victims’ relationship and didn’t confirm the Chris Johnson involved was the NFL player, though multiplereports have stated it is him.

Johnson had been visiting his hometown of Orlando over the weekend, according to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer.

No suspects are under arrest and no warrant has been issued for an arrest, the Orange County Sheriff’s office said in a statement.

Johnson, a seven-year NFL veteran, was made a free agent when the Jets declined his option last month. Johnson was arrested on a misdemeanor gun charge in Orlando in January.
