HOMICIDE SUSPECT ARRESTED The victim has been identified as Jeremy Brown, age 29 of 110 Abbey Lane in Stafford County. Officer Brown, a police officer with the FBI Police, was leaving his residence at 5:01 this morning, in uniform, when he was confronted by Antoine Johnson. Officer Brown and Antoine Johnson knew each other. Gun shots were exchanged during the confrontation and Officer Brown was killed. Stafford deputies responded immediately and were able to get a description of Johnson as well as the vehicle he was driving from witnesses in the neighborhood. The reason for the confrontation is part of the ongoing investigation. Local jurisdictions were notified of the incident as well as a description of the suspect and the vehicle he was driving. In 20 minutes a deputy from the King George County Sheriff’s Office spotted Antoine Johnson and his vehicle in the area of Caledon Road and Dahlgren Road, and he was subsequently taken into custody in the Route 301, Dahlgren area. Located in the vehicle was a handgun of the same caliber that was used in the homicide. Stafford detectives’ investigation during the day clearly indicated that Antoine Johnson was responsible for the homicide. Stafford deputies and detectives were confident, early on in the investigation, that this was an isolated incident and that Antoine Johnson acted alone in his assault of the victim. “The partnership between law enforcement agencies, coupled with the assistance from witnesses led to the arrest of this brutal criminal,” states Sheriff Charles Jett. |
