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.
Any description of “The Perps?”
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.
Following those rules, you stay out of trouble for the most part.
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.
I don't think a picture is necessary on his resume.
SOB!
LOL!
I would like to see the first kid named 6 7/8.
At least it wasn’t Dreekins Oricko Johnson, III
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.
Sometimes these names are very arresting, arent they?
