Johnson, a 32-year-old father of two girls, was pronounced dead at 3:18 p.m. on Thursday, the day after he was shot dead along with another deputy, 30-year-old Christopher Poole, during a police chase in Bib County. Dozens of officers gathered at UAB Hospital where, at 6 p.m., they lined up in the corridors of North Pavilion Hospital and Legacy of Hope. In what is called the Honor Walk, Johnson was transported from the hospital to the organ center – about two blocks away – on an inner path between the two. Johnson’s body will remain in the Legacy of Hope until the organ collection process is completed, which hospital officials say will take several days. Among them on the Honor Walker were Johnson’s K9 Bodie and Bibb County Sheriff Jody Wade.

As noted by Bibb County Sheriff Jody Wade, Deputy Johnson will continue to save lives through organ donation. Attorney General Michael Jackson said Beb county sheriff’s deputies were chasing 26-year-old Austin Patrick Hall, a convicted felon with a long criminal record, in a stolen vehicle when the suspect came out and shot both men. Both MPs were rushed to UAB Hospital by a huge police escort along Interstate 65, traveling through Hoover and Homewood and Birmingham. Poole was released on Wednesday night and is recovering at home. A huge manhunt continued throughout Wednesday night until Thursday morning. The US Marshals Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task and other law enforcement officers found Hall hiding in a tent outside a Bibb caravan, so he shouted that he was unarmed and was taken into custody without further incident. Hall, who has been arrested on at least 46 charges since he was 17, is being held without bail at Selby County Jail. Jackson said Hall was charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. It will be driven on Friday morning. Johnson had served in the sheriff’s office for just over seven years. “It is said that a coward dies with a thousand deaths, but a hero only one,” said Sheriff Wade on Thursday. “Brad Johnson was a hero.” “It’s the hardest thing I have to do. “This is the son who called me just a few hours earlier to ask me to help him find a good place for a beach trip,” Johnson’s father, Steven Johnson, wrote on Facebook. A son who enjoyed playing guitar, fishing, riding four-wheelers and much more. It’s not the way your day is supposed to end. Blue line forever. ” “The community is shocked that something like this could happen nearby,” said Centerville Mayor Mike Oakley. “It’s shocking and outrageous.”
