Eight years after a Fayetteville barber was shot and killed, police are again renewing their efforts to generate leads to find his killer.
Posted — Updated
As part of their annual push, Fayetteville police investigators and members of Creg Johnson's family plan to hand out fliers Wednesday along Yadkin Road – the area where a customer found Johnson's body on the floor inside Line Up Barber Shop on Nov. 20, 2005.
Johnson, 35, had been shot five times with a 9 mm handgun.
His red Isuzu Rodeo was still parked in front of the business.
Homicide detectives say Johnson was last seen inside the barber shop cutting hair around 9:30 p.m. on Nov. 19, 2005, and that they believe he likely let someone that he knew inside the shop that night.
Police say Johnson had also been briefly at a party on Kelmscot Court, near the business, that night.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Fayetteville Police Department at 910-433-1856 or Crime Stoppers at 910-483-8477.
Rewards of up to $10,000 are being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case.
