Homicidal Memphis detention cop shoots the next boyfriend

Monique Johnson intentionally shot and killed her cop boyfriend in 2006 and never served time for the murder Now she shot the next boyfriend and was just booked again.

On October 13, 2023, Monique Johnson was arrested for shooting her second boyfriend. He told police that he had been asleep when he was awakened by being hit by her, saw a black handgun pointed at him with Johnson telling him that she would kill him. She then fired a shot that hit his shoulder. He wrestled the gun from her and was shot through the hand in the process but was able to disarm her.

This was the second boyfriend shot by Johnson. She served only a few days’ time in the 2006 murder of her then-boyfriend Tony Hayes.

On September 4, 2006, Officer Tony Hayes was killed by his girlfriend Monique Johnson.She testified that she was a domestic violence victim and he had beaten her and she had to defend herself and shot him.

As the story evolved, he had been caught by his girlfriend, Monique Johnson who went through his cell phone and found evidence of relationships with other women. She shot and killed him point blank with 6 bullets, then enlisted her 12-year-old son to help her stuff his body into his own vehicle, a 1999 Lexus. Police would find his decomposing body in the trunk of his car 4 days later, on September 8, 2008. They also found his clothes cut up and stuffed in the trash where Johnson had thrown them in a fit of rage.

Her son had told investigators a very different story than the one she presented. In her narrative, she had claimed to have been beaten by Hayes and that she in self-defense shot and killed him. The son stated that she had shot and killed him through a closed door and that she had asked him to swap the door with a new door at a nearby construction site. Investigators found the bullet-riddled door at the construction site the son had pointed them to, confirming the story the son had told of what sounded like a killing not justifiable as self-defense.

Nevertheless, while she was convicted in 2008, she spent only a few days in jail as her sentence was commuted to time served and parole for the rest. Despite the strong evidence against her, she walked free after an unjustifiable murder, the unusual leniency possibly being related to her status as former officer. It seems less likely this time that her status as former police officer will once again help her walk free once again.
