Fairfax
County cop Wesley Shifflett, charged with involuntary manslaughter and reckless
discharge of a weapon in the killing of 37-year-old unarmed Timothy McCree
Johnson over a pair of sunglasses on Feb. 22, 2023 is finally going before a
court of law.
Shifflett
and another Fairfax County cop chased Johnson, during the night, on foot after
receiving a report from security guards that Johnson had stolen sunglasses from
a Nordstrom department store in Tysons Corner Center.
Shifflett told
another cop that he saw Johnson reaching for a weapon in his waistband but no
such weapon was found.
