Tragedy Strikes Near School

A tragic shooting claimed the life of 20-year-old security officer Dario Butler near Columbus Primary School after he went to buy a cellphone advertised online—he was shot, tried to flee, and collapsed on school grounds. His mother, Vandashia Johnson, heartbroken, described him as loving, hardworking, and introverted, questioning why her innocent son was targeted. This is the 26th murder this year. The family is shattered, with Ms. Johnson battling sleepless nights and grief compounded by the loss of her mother-in-law on her birthday last year—and now Dario’s death just days before her next birthday. Police are investigating, with no clear motive yet, though the family believes Dario may have known the seller, which could explain why he met at a different location. Justice is their desperate plea. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
