Break Up, Gunned Down

Satoya Johnson, 30, was indicted in March for the murder of her boyfriend Alton Montina, 30. She shot him with a gun after he broke up with her (back in October of 2017).  Johnson’s skuzzy lawyer claimed that the shooting was in “self defense”.

The deceased victim’s mother claims that Johnson had been violent with her son in the past.

Breakups are never easy; (they can even be deadly).

Girlfriend accused of killing boyfriend for allegedly dumping her

A Florida woman is accused of shooting and killing her boyfriend while he was allegedly trying to dump her, according to reports.

Satoya Johnson, 30, appeared in court Monday on second-degree murder charges in connection to the death of her 30-year-old boyfriend, Alton Montina, news station WPLG reported.

Authorities said they responded Oct. 28 to Montina’s apartment in North Lauderdale and found him dead from a gunshot wound.

Johnson, who was indicted last week by a grand jury, confessed to detectives that she shot her boyfriend, according to WPLG.

Montina’s mom, Francena Hick, said her son was attempting to break up with Johnson when she gunned him down at his apartment. The mother claimed that the suspect had been violent in the past with him.
Johnson’s lawyer, however, argued the shooting was self-defense, the Sun Sentinel reported.

“I believe the evidence is going to clearly show that there was not any violation of the law and she was simply defending herself at the time of the terrible tragedy,” attorney Ken Padowitz told the newspaper. “My client intends to vigorously fight these charges.”

A Broward County judge ordered Johnson be held without bond at the Monday hearing.
