On June 25, Johnson allegedly shot two people outside of an address around the 2400 block of W. 6th Street in Cleveland.

Police say the shooting stemmed from a physical fight between two men earlier in the evening at the same location.

One of the men left after the fight and stated he would be back with some friends. A short time later, the man identified as Johnson returned with several other men.

Johnson and the other men got out of their vehicles and attacked the two victims, ultimately shooting them both and breaking one of their jaws before driving off.

Johnson, 24, stands about 5'09" and weighs 160 pounds.  He has black hair and brown eyes and is believed to be hiding in Cleveland.

Johnson has a previous address located around the 9800 block of Way Ave. and also the 11600 block of Gay Ave.

If you have any information in reference to Eric Johnson, please contact the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force at 1-866-4WANTED.

Tipsters can remain anonymous and reward money is available.
