We'll post more shortly.

Update: According to Orange County Sheriff officials, at 4:09 a.m. Johnson and two other people were sitting in a Jeep at a red light when a car pulled up and began firing into their vehicle. Johnson was hit (either in the shoulder or arm, depending on the report) along with the other two men. One of those men (driver Dreekins Oriko Johnson) died from his injuries. Johnson had recently been training in a Los Angeles gym but returned home to Orlando for the weekend where he was attending a concert.

He is currently recovering in a local hospital and is expected to be okay.
