Los Angeles County Detectives Investigate Possible Connection Between Ex-NFL Player's Death and Other Homicides

Los Angeles County detectives are investigating a possible connection between the death of former NFL player Kevin Johnson and three other homicides of unhoused individuals in the Willowbrook area, near Compton. Johnson, 55, was found dead on January 21 at an encampment in the 1300 block of E. 120th Street, according to CBS News. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner determined that Johnson died from "blunt head trauma and stab wounds."

Johnson, a Los Angeles native who played with the Philadelphia Eagles and Oakland Raiders in the 1990s, was one of four homicide victims in the area between October 2025 and January 2026. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department stated in a news release that these homicides "remain under active investigation by the Homicide Bureau."

The investigation is ongoing, and detectives are working to determine if the four homicides are connected. No further details were immediately available.
