Jimmy Johnson:


Dopey looking beast, Shaun Brown, 17, murdered him.

Update: Arrest made.

Quote:
Jackson police arrested a teenager in the fatal shooting of bass angler Jimmy Johnson.

Shaun Brown, 17, is charged with capital murder. Police say he has confessed to the crime.

WAPT reports that police executed a search warrant Wednesday morning at a home on Delmar Street. Officers were seen carrying a red hooded sweatshirt from the house that was similar to one worn by a suspect in a surveillance photo released earlier this week. Officers also searched a wooded area for the gun they believe was used in the crime.

Johnson was in Jackson to compete in the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open tournament on the Ross Barnett Reservoir, which is scheduled to begin Thursday.

Johnson was staying with his wife at Motel 6 on the Intersate 55 frontage road. Jackson Police received the call at 7:48 p.m. Sunday.

Chris Bowes, senior tournament manager for the Bassmaster Opens, said a friend of Johnson discovered someone burglarizing his boat. The shooting took place shortly thereafter.

“There was some sort of violent altercation near his hotel room door,” Bowes said.

Johnson’s wife was not injured in the altercation.

“Jimmy was a terrific angler, as he has shown through the Bassmaster Opens,” Bowes said. “More than that, he was a tremendous guy. He will be deeply missed.”

Johnson, of Ganado, Texas, was 11th in Central Open standings after two events this year. The top five anglers from each of three open divisions qualify for the elite series. Johnson was in the top 5 percent of the nearly 200 fishermen who have competed in the central division this year, according to Bowes. Johnson was 56-years-old.

Jackson Police Department spokeswoman Colendula Green said police are searching for man seen on security camera video at the Motel 6 where bass angler Jimmy Johnson was killed.

A Bassmaster Opens angler in Jackson for a regional tournament is dead after a shooting at a Jackson motel.

Bass Anglers Sportsman Society confirmed Monday that the 56-year-old man fatally shot Sunday was bass angler Jimmy Johnson. Johnson was in Jackson to compete in the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open tournament on the Ross Barnett Reservoir, which is scheduled to begin Thursday.

Johnson was staying with his wife at Motel 6 on Frontage Road near I-55. Jackson Police Department spokeswoman Colendula Green said the department received a call related to the shooting at 7:48 p.m. Sunday. She said Monday afternoon that the investigation was still ongoing.

Chris Bowes, senior tournament manager for the Bassmaster Opens, said a friend of Johnson discovered someone burglarizing his boat. The shooting took place shortly thereafter.

“There was some sort of violent altercation near his hotel room door,” Bowes said.

Johnson’s wife was not injured in the altercation.

“Jimmy was a terrific angler, as he has shown through the Bassmaster Opens,” Bowes said. “More than that, he was a tremendous guy. He will be deeply missed.”

Johnson, of Ganado, Texas, was 11th in Central Open standings after two events this year. The top five anglers from each of three open divisions qualify for the elite series. Johnson was in the top 5 percent of the nearly 200 fishermen who have competed in the central division this year, according to Bowes.

Johnson entered the final open event of the season with a chance to qualify for the highest division in 2014.

Official practice for the open event began Monday morning, but Bowes said it was common for anglers to arrive early over the weekend to take advantage of no limits on the amount of fish that can be caught.

The Central Open is the first Bassmaster event at Ross Barnett Reservoir in more than a decade, according to Bowes. He said they planned to honor Johnson at the registration event Wednesday evening.

“The event will go on, and we know that it was an isolated incident,” Bowes said. We don’t want to lose focus and everyone there will have a heavy heart.”

BASS CEO Bruce Akin said in a statement Monday, “We were shocked and saddened to learn late Sunday night that Jimmy Johnson was killed while staying in a motel near the lake. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends as the bass fishing community rallies around them.”
