I'm Michelle Leete, President of Fairfax County NAACP.

Unfortunately, Timothy Johnson's story is all too familiar. An encounter with the police ends in death. Tim was an avid creative spirit. He loved to design clothes and tennis shoes. He was also learning to cut hair and planned to work as a barber. He adored his two children. Tim wasn't perfect. He suffered from personal demons and mental health issues. But Tim certainly didn't deserve to die over sunglasses stolen from a department store.

Please help Tim's family with burial expenses and offer some financial support for the 2 children (Izaiha 12 years old, and Saniya 9 years old) he leaves behind.

All funds (minus any Go Fund Me administrative expenses) will be released to Melissa Johnson, Tim's Mother. Thank you for your support!
