Accident – Death – Obituary News : **Man Arrested for Fatal Assault on Homeless Man in Memphis**
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — In a tragic incident, a man has been taken into custody for allegedly assaulting a homeless man so severely that he died from his injuries. The incident occurred on September 24 at an abandoned business located in the 1400 block of Airways Boulevard in Memphis.
According to the Memphis Police, officers responded to a man-down call and discovered an unresponsive homeless man, aged 55, lying on a cot. Despite their efforts, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigations revealed that the victim had engaged in a verbal altercation with the suspect, identified as Randy Johnson, the day before the incident. The altercation took place in the parking lot of Sav-N-Go on Park Avenue, just a short distance from where the victim was found.
Eyewitnesses reported that Johnson struck the victim forcefully in the head with a closed fist, causing him to fall on the concrete and hit his head. The blow was so severe that the victim immediately went stiff and lost consciousness. Shockingly, Johnson left the victim lying on the ground for over 40 minutes before someone finally came to his aid and helped him across the street.
Authorities were able to identify the suspect as “Ran Ran,” who was later confirmed to be Randy Johnson. Johnson has since been arrested and is facing charges of second-degree murder and violation of parole. It has also come to light that he had previous charges from last year related to domestic assault and elderly abuse.
This tragic incident highlights the vulnerability of homeless individuals and the importance of addressing the issue of violence against them. Homelessness continues to be a pressing problem in many cities across the country, and incidents like this only serve to underscore the need for greater support and resources for this marginalized population.
As the investigation into this case continues, authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward and assist in the pursuit of justice for the victim. Additionally, they are reminding the public to report any suspicious activity or incidents involving homeless individuals to help ensure their safety.
In the wake of this tragedy, communities are being called upon to come together and work towards finding sustainable solutions to combat homelessness and provide support to those in need. It is crucial that everyone plays a role in creating a safe and compassionate environment for all members of society.
