Jason Johnson

Age: 24

Sex: male

Date: 21 Nov 2008

Place: Cheyne Path, Cavendish Avenue, West Ealing

Jason Johnson was shot in an alleyway in Cheyne Path behind Cavendish Avenue, West Ealing around 8.50pm on 21 November 2008.

He was pronounced dead at the scene at 9pm. The alley was known locally as 'dead man’s alley'.

He died from a gunshot wound to the chest.

A woman said that she heard the gunshot from her kitchen followed by a piercing sound. Another woman who lived in the Chelsea Gardens development behind the alley said that she heard two gun shots.

Jason Johnson had had a dispute earlier in the day and was later contacted by a friend and told to go to 'dead man’s alley' to resolve it. When they got there they were surrounded by other people and Jason Johnson was shot in the chest.

Six men were tried for his murder but the case collapsed after witness evidence was found to be flawed.

Two men made a rap video that they published on the website YouTube which was said to have been about the murder in which witnesses’ were threatened with being gunned down. The video was called The Wrong Team and included the lyrics, 'death to snitches'. The creators of the video were said to have been associated with the MDP gang. The lyrics included 'I got couple man bitchin' on me, talkin' bout they roll me over and I know they're snitching on me, talkin bout the holy chrome and how they're gonna lick it at me. But I know these cokeheads won't they're in the station chitter chatting. Me I just give the strap (gun) lovin' and I make it bust. Line them up in public like they're waiting for a bus. Two things I only show my brothers, is love and trust. Cos I can see the snakes hiding in the f***ing grass and for a month now the spotlight's been on us. I move cautious, I know Trident's watching us and that's why they got three of my brothers locked. Words can't describe how much hate I got for these pr**** and this a custom now I'm used to holding sticks. Yo Rowz let me tell you summin, them cokehead pussies ain't touchin' nothin, f*** em I'm a touch the button. Mention my name, I'll aim and squeeze off, you young niggaz put them in their place make them breeze off. All my enemies learn quick then ease off. I couldn't give a f*** if they were strapped I'll beat off mine, Glock nine, plus ten and a bag of shells. If... tellin tales she gets blessed as well. Our name might be on front page for a second time. Now she's a victim of a crime; homicide... gets it in his face close his eyes, shoot him make my niggaz do him. My niggaz call me up for a problem of shooting. Clap mine with the intention to loose him.'.

The creators of the rap song and video were both jailed for it.

Jason Johnson had been from Hanwell.
