## Resource

A 39-year-old woman, Courtney Samplatsky, has pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the June 2022 shooting death of 46-year-old Sincere Johnson on Baxter Street. The incident stemmed from a drug-related dispute, and Samplatsky now faces up to ten years in prison plus a 25-year probation period. Another suspect, Michael O’Brien, remains without a resolved case. This tragic event underscores how quickly violence can escalate — especially when drugs are involved — leaving lasting consequences for all involved.
