Medics rushed Johnson, who lived in South Jamaica, to Jamaica Hospital, but he couldn’t be saved.

There have been no arrests, and it wasn’t clear what sparked the shooting.

Johnson had four unsealed arrests on his records, including for robbery, assault and burglary, police said. He was paroled in March 2019 after serving three years in state prison for a residential burglary in Queens, records show.
