Hours after a fatal shooting Tuesday night, June 27, at a home on N. Winfree St. at Pine St. in Dayton, a 16-year-old male has been charged with the murder of the victim, Elmo Lee Johnson, 38, of Dayton.
Johnson’s murder took place just hours after he was released from his most recent stint in the Liberty County Jail on drug charges. Dayton Police Chief Derek Woods said a close relative of Johnson’s had dropped him off at the house not long before the shooting.
At the moment, the shooting appears to have been prompted by some type of altercation between Johnson and the 16-year-old juvenile.
Johnson initially survived the shooting and was flown by air ambulance to Kingwood Hospital where he later died.
On Wednesday, acting on a tip, authorities were led to the 16-year-old, who Woods said has admitted to the shooting and is cooperating with investigators. The gun believed to have been used in the shooting was also recovered.
Two other people – a man and woman in their late teens and early 20s – who were traveling in the vehicle with the 16-year-old suspect when the shooting occurred also are cooperating with authorities. Woods said charges are not expected to be filed against them at this time.
The 16-year-old has been charged with murder and currently is being held at a juvenile detention facility. His name is not being released as he is a juvenile.
Updates will be posted as new information becomes available.

Since your not releasing, name and picture or mugshot, there is no adult charge, for child teenager?
White on. Black crime if it was the other way around u a have picture left and right they kno
Tobi Landon Johnson is the murderer and there was no altercation another lie Tobi’s family is saying!!! Tobi is 17 and no longer considered a juvenile, so why hasn’t a picture been posted on Bluebonnet? Doesn’t matter if the victim had been recently in jail, he was senselessly murdered for literally no reason. Don’t be surprised once it’s said that Tobi Johnson killed this man for no reason. Tobi has an extensive juvenile record and bullied kids at school, now suddenly he just made a mistake, no he is a murderer and not new to legal troubles.
