Defendant Pleads Not Guilty in Price Murder
July 8, 2015
A 24-year-old man pleaded not guilty this week to the gang-related murder of a 19-year-old mentally disabled man who was gunned down near a South Los Angeles car wash, apparently over his red shoes. Kevin Deon Johnson and his co-defendant, Dwight Kevin Smith, 30, are both scheduled to return to court next Monday to get a preliminary hearing date. Smith pleaded not guilty on June 22 to a murder charge.
