Summary
The shocking death of former NFL star Kevin Johnson—found with head trauma, stab wounds, and drugs in his system—is now part of a chilling pattern: four homeless men killed in LA encampments between October and January. Authorities suspect a possible serial killer, as another homicide followed Johnson’s death. Once a Patriots draft pick and Eagles defensive tackle, Johnson was beloved by family, who worry his brain injuries may have contributed to his decline. The investigation is wide open—and the victims’ families are left searching for answers. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
