Gruesome Details Emerge Of NFL Murder
Kevin Johnson, a former Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman, was killed in a gruesome and horrific manner in a homeless encampment earlier this year.
According to a report released by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner on Wednesday, Johnson sustained skull fractures, brain contusions, and five sharp force wounds to his neck during his violent death in a homeless encampment near the LA river bed on January 21:
Authorities also claimed Johnson had traces of phencyclidine, aka angel dust, and methamphetamine in his system at the time of his passing.
Law enforcement wrote in the report that officers were called to the grisly scene at around 8 a.m., after a friend of Johnson had discovered him face down, unresponsive and covered by a tarp and other debris.
A blood-soaked shovel, a crutch and a broken broom stick were all found near Johnson’s body, according to the report. “Part of a cut tree” as well as a “rock/brick” that was “covered in apparent blood” were also discovered.
Johnson, the report states, had multiple fatal blunt injuries, including brain fragmentation and “severe” intracerebral hemorrhaging. He also suffered a fatal injury to his left carotid artery.

Investigators were informed by Johnson’s family members that he was “an ex-NFL player who lived a homeless lifestyle.”
“He had a history of illicit drug use (methamphetamines),” authorities added in the report, “and was using a catheter bag. He was not in the best health but could get around slowly with the assistance of crutches.”
The 55-year-old Johnson played three seasons in the NFL during the 1990s.
According to police, Johnson’s death is suspected to have been related to three separate murders of homeless people living in Compton Creek, although a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department did not provide any updates on Wednesday.
