Chris Johnson, the NFL running back cut by the New York Jets last month, was injured in a drive-by shooting early Sunday morning in Orlando, Florida, when an unknown gunman or gunmen pulled up alongside the Jeep in which he was a passenger when it stopped at a red light and opened fire.

The assailants then sped off. When the shooting was over, Johnson was shot in the shoulder but the driver of the Jeep, 28-year-old Dreekins Oricko Johnson, was dead, according to news reports out of Orlando Sunday.

NFL is starting to make boxing look like a bunch of altar boys.

Title is misleading. If he was cut from the team, he is no longer a New York Jet.

Describing anyone who commits a crime anywhere and at anytime is inherently racist. You should be ashamed for even posing the question.

The person who killed Dreekius? Not sure, TMZ lists him as a “mystery” shooter.

The shooting occurred about two blocks north of a college where I sometimes teach in Orlando (will start a class Tuesday night). It’s not in the “poor section” of town per se, but the corner where it occurred has a bunch of fast food restaurants and a Goodwill.

The giveaway is that the shooting occurred at 4 AM. Nothing good happens at a corner with a Goodwill at 4 AM.

Under 18, be home by 9pm
18-20, be home by 11pm
21-30, be home by 1am (these are your party years)
Over 30, be home by midnight.

Following those rules, you stay out of trouble for the most part.

Dreekins Oricko Johnson

Dreekins Oricko? Now they're just pulling letters out of a hat to form names?

He was outside at 4am stargazing, studying the wonderful world of constellations, dwarf planets and black holes, yeah that’s it!

I thought it was Dreekius, as posted earlier. I stand corrected.

Dreekins Oricko

I don't think a picture is necessary on his resume.

Looks like Chris usually carries a 9 mm Glock and a 5.7mm FN for a backup. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/breaking-news/os-shooting-orlando-jeep-20150308-story.html

And people constantly ask me why I never entered the NFL.........There you have it.
