Tomiekia Johnson, 31 (dob 4-19-79), was arrested about noon by Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department homicide detectives, said Deputy District Attorney Natalie Adomian with the Justice System Integrity Division. Johnson was arrested shortly after Adomian filed a felony complaint for arrest warrant – BA379826 -- charging Johnson with the murder of her husband, Marcus Lemons. The complaint alleges Johnson personally and intentionally discharged a handgun. She is being held on $2 million bail. Arraignment information will be announced later. The off-duty CHP officer allegedly shot her husband near a 91 Freeway off-ramp about 11 p.m. on Feb. 21, 2009. She then allegedly drove the car to her parents home in Compton. When Sheriff’s deputies responded, they discovered his body in the front passenger seat with a gunshot wound to the head.
