HOUSTON, Texas – The parents of 19-year-old Cody Johnson are pleading for information following the tragic death of their son in a road rage shooting on Sept. 27.
The Johnson family, alongside law enforcement, is urging anyone with information or who may have been driving near the Katy Freeway last Friday night to come forward.
“No father, no mother, no family should have to go through this,” said Mike Johnson, Cody’s father. “Someone that happy shouldn’t be in a grave.”
Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $30,000 for any information leading to the arrest of those responsible for Johnson’s death.
What happened
Johnson, of Missouri City, was killed in the 23600 block of the Katy Freeway on the westbound service road, near the Grand Parkway around 8 p.m.
