Suspect locked up 3 years after man killed while walking from party bus in Miami-Dade
After more than three years of searching for a suspect who turned the ending of a night of party bus fun into gunshots and murder in North Miami-Dade, deputies announced they arrested the man responsible on Tuesday.
Around 1:30 p.m., Antwane Demon Johnson, 39, was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on charges of second-degree murder with a weapon and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, records show.
During the early morning of August 29, 2021, Rennard Walker, 49, was walking from a private party on a bus with other family members who were celebrating a birthday, Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said. Nearing their cars in the Golden Glades Park & Ride, 1600 NW Seventh Avenue, gunshots rang out and Walker was hit “without provocation.”
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Deputies said Johnson was responsible for the shooting. Johnson has an extensive criminal rap sheet, including some convictions and assigned fines.
He spent three years in prison from 2004 to 2007 after being found guilty on charges of grand theft, aggravated battery, burglary and robbery with a deadly weapon, records show. Then in 2011, he was sentenced to two more years in prison for leaving a crash with injuries and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.
