Ferguson witness DeAndre Joshua may have been killed in retribution for his testimony at the grand jury in the Michael Brown shooting case, conspiracy theorists are claiming.
Jordan was found dead this week inside a parked car near the Canfield Green Apartments, the same complex where Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson killed the unarmed Brown in August. A grand jury heard evidence in the case but failed to return an indictment against Wilson, sparking several days of riots in Ferguson.
The Ferguson witness was killed amidst the riots, with his body being found around 9 a.m. Tuesday.
One local resident said four individuals were discussing plans to kill somebody on Monday night, though it was unclear if they planned to target DeAndre Joshua.
But Joshuas family believes the Ferguson witness was killed over a grand jurys decision not to indict Michael Browns killer. Others have said that witnesses who spoke out in support of Darren Wilsons account of the shooting were being threatened.
Though the report is kicking around the internet, there are some holes in the theory. The blog Conservative Treehouse, one of the outlets publishing the theory that the Ferguson witness was killed in retribution, noted that DeAndre Joshua was not even listed as an official witness.
Instead, the site notes, the 20-year-old Joshua fits the social profile of an eye-witness who gave a police/FBI statement and testified before the Grand Jury in the Mike Brown shooting case.
He was an employed black male, with no history of drug use or illicit behavior. He was also a friend of Dorian Johnson who is currently under protection, the site continued.
Dorian Johnson appears to believe that Joshuas death had to do with the Michael Brown grand jury. In a Facebook post, Johnson expressed fear that killers could target him next.
Im Hella f**d Up, SomeBody come get me right Now I gotta Go!!!!! Johnson wrote on Facebook.
Others say there were warning signs of danger even before the Ferguson witness was killed. In statements to police, several witnesses expressed fear that they could be targeted for speaking up about what they saw in the shooting.

Of course not..they are too busy calling the looters and rioters “Heroes”
Thugocracy + Idiocracy = Thugiocrcocy. What this country is now.
They have not reported it. Therefore they never tried to see if there was a link. FOX news is equally as guilty.
This should be Hge but will be Small.
Black lives that are not lost to the Cause are meaningless.
Shot. Then doused with lighter fluid and set on fire inside the car were he was found.
Conspiracy of Major Media to Promote False Story to Incite Riots Started here!
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck....
Goggled: “DeAndre Joshua cbs nbc abc cnn” and all I got was Obama.
If there is a link you can bet the evidence is being shredded.
Nothing about this sordid mess would surprise me.
I think the is the third or fourth story I’ve heard where the black criminal M.O. is setting the body on fire. That and our new immigrant friends the Mooslims chopping off heads in offices and such lead me to believe that American society may have peaked a few decades ago.
any news?
bump
He was set on fire? You racist!!/s of course.
It was Dorian Johnson who started this all rolling with his "hands up" claim, wasn't it? Why would his friend be killed? (Unless Ferguson, MO has police death squads like the SFPD in Clint Eastwood's "Magnum Force". Where did I put my tinfoil hat?)
I wondered why we haven’t heard more about this murder. He was black.
The fact that the rioters have not been in an uproar about him indicates that they know full well he was killed by blacks. Funny they wouldn’t assume him to be killed by those racist cops that were swarming around that night. Very odd.
He was a drug dealer.
There have been several threads on FR showing his Facebook page with nothing but talk and photos about drug money, drugs, money, and more drug money.
I don't know who killed him. Or why. But thanks for doing so.
Conspiracy theory? Ok, there is about one percent chance there is no connection.
It goes back to Don’t Snitch
