From the Daily News: 

Johnson’s mother said he was a “good son” despite his legal troubles.

“He
was was my son and he was a good son," said Evelyn Roberts, 69, at her
Bedford-Stuyvesant home. “I know he did things he wasn’t supposed to do
but my son was a human being.

“He leaves a grown daughter and a young daughter,” she said. “We’re not taking this well.”

Accused
killer Johnson’s rap sheet was even longer than that of the dead man,
with 42 arrests on charges from robbery and drug possession to
trespassing and criminal possession of a weapon. But neighbors recalled
him as a gifted car mechanic with a solid reputation for helping those
in need.

from the NY Post:

An enraged driver took the law into his own hands in Brooklyn Monday
when he fatally mowed down a cyclist after the pedal-pusher tried to
break into his car and then slashed the motorist’s girlfriend, police
sources said.

Korey Johnson was leaving Woodhull Hospital with his girlfriend at
around 6 a.m. Monday morning when he spotted Donald Robert allegedly
trying to break into several vehicles parked on Marcus Garvey Boulevard —
including Johnson’s Jeep Grand Cherokee, according to a high-ranking
law-enforcement source.

Johnson, 41, confronted the would-be burglar and Robert answered by
slashing his girlfriend on the arm with a screwdriver, the police source
said.

Robert, 47, then hopped on a bicycle and sped off — at which point
Johnson got into his Jeep and zoomed the wrong way down the boulevard in
pursuit of Robert.

The chase spilled onto Broadway, and Johnson caught up to Robert near
Ellery Street, where the Jeep hit three parked cars and rammed into the
cyclist, the sources said.

Video provided by a witness who declined to give his name shows the
grisly aftermath — including the cyclist’s crumpled and lifeless body on
the asphalt near a parked car. The black Jeep, on its side and missing
its front bumper, is seen in the background.
