Police did not name Johnson but confirmed a woman was shot in the London borough of Southwark at around 3 a.m. Sunday “in the vicinity of a house where a party was taking place.” She was taken to a nearby hospital. Officers have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
Britain’s Taking the Initiative party announced during the weekend that “our own Sasha Johnson has sustained a gunshot wound to her head.” Describing Johnson as a “strong, powerful voice,” the group said she was known for “actively fighting for black people and the injustices that surround the black community.”
