The evidence will be presented to the upcoming Montgomery County Grand Jury, scheduled for May 1, for consideration of criminal charges.
Police said in addition to investigating the criminal charges, an inquiry is being conducted into the actions of all the bonding agents to determine if they were in compliance with Tennessee Regulatory Law.
Investigators have not released the names of any suspects and have not indicated who will be charged in the case.
The investigation is still ongoing and anyone who has information or was in the parking lot of the Walmart Neighborhood Market during the incident is asked to please contact Detective Tim Anderson, 931-648-0656, ext. 5132.
Johnson died as a result of his injuries stemming from a shooting at the Walmart Neighborhood Market parking lot on Whitfield Rd. early Sunday morning.
According to a press release, bail bond agents believed a man with warrants on file was inside of a Nissan in the parking lot. During the attempt to serve the warrants, shots were fired and the vehicle fled from the scene, almost hitting two men.
Police said the bail bond agents entered separate vehicles and chased the Nissan onto Ft Campbell Blvd. The Nissan stopped around the 2400 block of Ft Campbell Blvd and it was discovered that two men in the Nissan had sustained gunshot wounds.
Johnson was transported from the scene by ambulance and later died from his injuries. The other victim, who has not yet been named, was treated and released.
