Kameron Johnson

Age 18

Ogden, Utah

He dreamed of college and cars

Friends called him “a kind and gentle young heart.” His brother called him Lil Bird.

He had college aspirations and loved playing football. He dreamed of turning his passion for sports into a career as an athletic trainer when he graduated from Ben Lomond High School. He wanted to buy a Ford Mustang.

Kameron Johnson, 18, of Ogden, Utah, was home sick from school when he and his older brother were shot in their home on West Lake Street. While his brother remains in critical condition, Kameron died from his injuries on Feb. 11, 2019.
