One of Hamilton County’s Top 12 Most Wanted, Kodi Delon Johnson, 22 has been arrested.
Johnson was arrested Friday afternoon by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department and is incarcerated the County Jail on charges of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated assault, felony reckless endangerment, and possession of a firearm during commission of a felony.
The victim, Roger Heard, was taken to Erlanger East Hospital where he told authorities that he had been shot on Walden Avenue by the little brother of a man he knew.
Detectives were able to identify the suspect as Johnson.
The victim said that he went to the defendant’s address to pay him for a sports bet. When he arrived, he spoke to the defendant’s older brother before the defendant stepped forward, pointed a revolver and shot him in the face.
After he had been shot, the victim drove to his own home and got a friend to drive him to the emergency room.
Authorities also found that Johnson has prior convictions for aggravated assault and robbery, which make his possession or use of a firearm illegal.
