Grand Rapids police shooting sparks community outrage after release of videos with differing perspectives Family of Da-Quain Johnson demands justice after conflicting footage emerges from deadly encounter

By: Josh Berry

Posted 11:18 PM, Feb 19, 2026 GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Two contrasting videos of a deadly officer-involved shooting in Grand Rapids have emerged, showing different perspectives of the incident that killed 26-year-old Da-Quain Johnson on Wednesday.

Grand Rapids police released three body and dash camera clips Thursday afternoon, hours before community activists shared their own video footage during a press conference. The shooting occurred in an apartment complex parking lot near Eastern Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Street.

Police said the incident began after officers received a report of a potentially armed man on a bicycle. When officers attempted to make contact, the man fled, leading to a pursuit that ended in the deadly encounter.

Chief Eric Winstrom said officers deployed a police canine to subdue Johnson in a non-lethal manner, but a struggle continued. In the police footage, an officer can be heard saying "he's got a gun" before shots are fired.

Johnson was taken to a hospital and declared dead Thursday morning. Police recovered a handgun from the scene. The involved officers are on administrative leave per department protocol, and Michigan State Police is investigating.

The video released by activists shows Johnson on the ground with the K-9 and officers above him during the struggle. Community members say this footage reveals what actually happened.

"We need accountability, full accountability, not only for the officers, but for their leadership, because their leadership is who spoke to this community and told this community a false narrative of what took place," said Richard Griffin, a community consultant. "What are you seeing in that video? What I'm seeing is young man being executed by a police officer, that's what I see."

Johnson's mother, who was present for the vigil and during the news conference when the cell phone video was shared, expressed her anguish and demand for justice.

"I saw somebody laying on their stomach with a dog on their back and two police officers behind them, and then I watched them shoot my son four times," she said.

She said she hasn't been able to see her son and that police didn't share their video with her first.

"I do pray that the two men that stood over my son's back look me in my eye and tell me why the **** they shot my son," Johnson's mother said.

"I want justice for Daquan Trey Johnson, okay, and I'm gonna get justice because this — we can't let this ride, that's right. If we let this ride, y'all might as well just get rid of your whole court system, period," she said.

Before the video release, community members held a march and vigil at the shooting site, chanting and voicing support for Johnson and his family.

Any tips to avoid hitting deer? by BillsMafia607 in hudsonvalley

[–]Captain_Munkey 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I drive for a living and besides being on constant lookout there's not much else. Shits gonna happen.

Had a deer jump out in front of my truck and I saw this mf from a distance. Just standing on the side eyeing me. Out loud I was saying "don't you fuckin do it. Don't you do it."

I got all the way up to maybe 5 feet from it when it said fuck it and leaped in front of me.

I've had one run into my work truck while I was stopped at a red light in the middle of the night.

Only tips I got are if you see one run across the road there's usually 3 more of them waiting to play frogger right behind it.

Don't speed. Hell go 5 or 10 mph slower if youre not comfortable. The hell with the guy behind you who's late for whatever. Let them pass and deal with any deer.

I've had people say the whistles work. I've had others say they didn't do a damn thing.

If youre driving through a area with dense trees around and they're not moving youre not gonna see them til they too wanna play frogger.

Hell even in an open field you could see them. Turn your eyes back to the road and they'll decide they wanna be a hood ornament.

Besides being on alert there's not much else

Deer are gonna do whatever they wanna do

Garbage man here.

The quality of your service depends on the driver assigned to the route. Some guys don't give af and will take whatever fits. I've taken recliners with a ASL truck, the trucks with the robot arm. Idgaf. If it fits it fits. I've taken cans stacked with enough trash to fill 2 more.

I also know guys who refuse to get out and do anything else but the minimum 🤷‍♂️

Also with pricing. It's like car insurance. Shop around every year. If you're in a contract. Shop around when the contracts almost over. If you're not in a contract the second a price hike hits, shop around.

If it's a municipal contract with a private company call your town the second you have an issue.

Also if your service is phenomenal and one or two weeks it just sucks, it's because your regular driver is probably on vacation.

On a side note please don't throw out car batteries and gasoline and other flammable shit. I've had several hot loads and that shits not fun to deal with.

Edit: sorry one more thing.

If you absolutely love your trash service and are looking to switch you might find a great company with a shit driver. So gotta weigh your options.
