An Atlantic County jury convicted 34 year old Lewis Johnson of Pleasantville has been convicted of murder for the killing of 17-year-old C.W. on the 2000 block of Blaine Avenue in June of 2020.
Johnson drove down to Atlantic City from Easton, Pennsylvania to help his then-girlfriend
Shaquana Lewis confront the parents of her daughter’s boyfriend after a physical fight between
the kids the night before. But when they arrived at the boy’s house in the early afternoon on June
8, 2020, the defendant, armed with a handgun, ran up the steps at 2009 Blaine Avenue to the
2nd floor apartment’s porch, where the victim and his foster brother were hanging out. The
defendant then pistol whipped the victim, and ultimately shot him in the back and foot. He then
fled back down the steps, shooting back up at the boys from the ground level. He fled Atlantic
City by car, stopping at a liquor store in Pleasantville, before driving back to the apartment he was
staying at in Easton, Pennsylvania. The victim was pronounced dead later that day as a result of the injuries sustained in the shooting. The defendant was apprehended the next morning by members of the Atlantic County
Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit.
