A former convict and a current criminal justice reform activist, Sheldon Johnson, who recently appeared in Joe Rogan's podcast, was arrested on murder charges on Thursday, March 7, 2024, after a severed head was found in his Bronx apartment freezer.According to NBC, police were called to Summit Avenue in Highbridge on Tuesday, March 5, after neighbors overheard gunshots overnight.
The surveillance video tells part of the story. In the images, Johnson is seen with a large blue bin, cleaning supplies and even wearing a blonde wig.
"Coming in, coming out of the apartment with different articles of clothes, different wigs. It's weird, so that's why I called," Medina said.
Police say Johnson shot Small and then dismembered the body. A search of Johnson's Harlem apartment revealed the remainder of the body -- the arms and the head inside a freezer.
Johnson is no stranger to the law; he was sentenced for attempted murder and robbery, spending over 20 years in prison. Since his release, he was a working as a counselor to help at-risk youth at the Queens public defender's office.
In February, he made an appearance on the Joe Rogan Podcast, saying, "When I got out, I made a decision that I was going to walk away and I didn't care about what the consequences was. And I said to myself, I've been doing bad for so long, I'm going to try to do something good. If all else fails, I could always go back to doing something bad."
Now, he's back in jail, facing charges of murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon.
