Brooklyn Bakery Owner Fatally Shot

According to the Daily News, it's believed he was waking home from the bakery when he "was confronted at 8:30 p.m. at Brooklyn and Lefferts Avenues, and shot in the head, just feet from his Brooklyn home. Police said it's possible the murder is connected to a recent robbery attempt." Just last week, Johnson was robbed of $50 in the lobby of his apartment building; police are looking to see if the shooting is connected to the robbery.
