Husband Sentenced to 40 Years for Fatal Shooting of Man in Northeast Baltimore
Lamont Johnson pleaded guilty to the Second-Degree Murder of Tiwan Wilson
Baltimore, Md. (August 12, 2025) – Today, the State’s Attorney’s Office of Baltimore City announced that defendant Lamont Johnson was sentenced to 60 years, suspending all but 40 years, for Second-Degree Murder and Use of Firearm in the Commission of a Crime of Violence in connection to the fatal shooting of 21 year-old Tiwan Wilson. The defendant is also required to receive mental health treatment and was referred to the Patuxent Institute Eligible Persons Program. Assistant State’s Attorney Rita Wisthoff-Ito prosecuted this case, and Homicide Unit Chief Michael Dunty conducted the sentencing.
“This tragic and senseless act of impulsive violence not only claimed a life but also irrevocably shattered a family,” said State’s Attorney Ivan J. Bates. “While no amount of justice can bring Mr. Wilson back, today’s sentence serves to hold Lamont Johnson accountable for the profound harm he has caused and compels him to engage in the critical mental health services he requires. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to my Homicide team and the Baltimore Police Department for their unwavering dedication and tireless efforts in this case.”
On August 4, 2023, at approximately 5:45 p.m., Baltimore Police officers responded to reports of a shooting at the 300 block of S. Calhoun Street. Upon arrival, officers found the victim, later identified as Tiwan Wilson, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Despite all efforts to save him, the victim was pronounced deceased at Shock Trauma Hospital at 6:16 p.m.
At the scene, detectives recovered the victim’s vehicle, seven 9mm Luger shell casings, and an extended magazine loaded with 21 rounds.
Surveillance footage captured the suspect, Lamont Johnson, arriving at the 300 block of S. Calhoun Street, where he parked his car, exited the vehicle, and observed his wife embracing the victim, Tiwan Wilson. Johnson then walked over to the trunk of his car, retrieved a firearm, and approached the victim. After a brief exchange of words, Johnson shot the victim.
Johnson fled from the police in a separate incident in September of 2024 in the 1900 block of N. Longwood Street and was subsequently arrested. Police traced the path of the defendant and located a handgun. He pleaded guilty in a separate case to Wear/Carry/Transport of a Handgun and was given a five-year sentence to be served concurrently with his homicide sentence.
