Conyers, Georgia — Conyers police are urgently searching for 21-year-old Amir Johnson, the suspect in a fatal shooting that claimed the life of a young man inside an apartment at Forest Villa Apartments late Tuesday evening. The Conyers Police Department (CPD) has charged Johnson with Felony Murder and Aggravated Assault, and has announced a $5,000 cash reward for information that leads to his arrest.
Shortly after 8 p.m., officers were called to an apartment on Irwin Bridge Road where a 21-year-old victim had been shot multiple times. That young man did not live at the apartment where he was found, and investigators believe he was visiting when the shooting happened. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.
Detectives are actively pursuing several leads and have identified a preliminary suspect: Amir Johnson, who they believe was involved in the shooting. Police say they are using every available resource to locate and arrest him. The reward for tips leading to Johnson’s capture reflects the urgency and seriousness with which authorities are treating this case.
The CPD is urging anyone with information to come forward. Residents who may have seen activity in or around the Forest Villa Apartments around the time of the shooting — particularly anyone who noticed a white male matching Johnson’s description — are being asked to call or text tips to 678-654-8845. All tips may be submitted anonymously, and confidentiality will be protected.
This tragic incident marks Conyers’ first homicide of 2026, and it has shaken a community still reeling from gun violence earlier in the year. Neighbors described hearing the shots from inside their homes and calling police when the commotion began. Friends of the victim have begun sharing memories online, remembering him as a kind, lively young man whose life was cut short.
Law enforcement has made it clear that the case remains an active investigation. Detectives insist they are following every credible lead and are asking anyone who drove by or stopped near the scene on Irwin Bridge Road that night to share what they know.
As the search continues, the family of the victim and neighbors are left grieving and demanding swift justice. Community members are sharing information privately and on social media, hoping someone will recognize the name Amir Johnson or provide the key detail that brings him into custody. Residents are encouraged to stay aware and report any suspicious behavior to police immediately while the hunt for justice unfolds.
