The victim, Adrienne Johnson, 45, was leaving her place of work on the 6900 block of Jurupa Avenue just after 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 11, Officer Ryan Railsback said. She was getting into her car when the suspect, later identified as her brother David Johnson, 51, pulled his car up behind her. He fired several shots at her, killing her at the scene, police said.
