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 Joshua’s family believes the Ferguson witness was killed “over a grand jury’s decision not to indict Michael Brown’s killer.” Others have said that witnesses who spoke out in support of Darren Wilson’s 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 Joshua’s death had to do with the Michael Brown grand jury. In a Facebook post, Johnson expressed fear that killers could target him next.
“I’m 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.

Time Magazine is less reliable than the National Enquirer.
PFL
He was one black who’s life didn’t matter to the protesters. Just like all those killed every weekend in Chicago.
Bkmrk
Dorian Johnson is a well-documented liar.
Or maybe he was killed for just being too white, you know, for having a job at Wal-Mart.
Yeah. The author might’ve said there are questions, since there’s no proof yet, but “conspiracy theory”....? Conspiracy theory means if you talk about this we are gonna mock you....
Every article, seems not to matter who publishes the article we are reminded sweet, innocent, misunderstood, loveable, BIG cuddly Teddy Bear good guy Michael Brown was "unarmed", and killed by that nasty ol' black killin' WHITE cop just because he was black, and breathed air.
I'd like to take their 'puters, and .........
By now everybody knows the truth, therefore the truth is being deliberately Obama'd.
Conspiracy and theory never belong in the same sentence.
Conspiracy is human nature; the rule rather than the exception.

Early 1964.
The Kennedy assassination cover-up turned this nation on its head, and it has never recovered. It was a moral H-bomb to our society.

I want to change my name to deChuck in solidarity.
I think that is a reasonable response.
“deChuck, you lazy fool, carry out the trash.”
“OK, deHoney.”
Black on black-nobody in the outraged black community cares.
No, but there are plenty of leaks in any grand jury system. All you need is a clerk on the inside looking to supplement their income with a little gang cash. With a few keystrokes you’ve got juror names, addresses and even car license plates.
Who is Jordan?
someone should check the livestreams for GJ announcement night when a person squirted lighter fluid on a patrol car. Might be a clue there.
excellent. thanks, Ray76. and a hattip to pookiesmommie at the link. That’s exactly the person I was thinking of.
