Security Company Owner Murdered by Fired Employee
ARAPAHOE COUNTY, COLORADO October 22, 2022 The Arapahoe County Coroner’s office confirmed with FOX31 the death of 52-year-old Marvin Johnson, who they say died by homicide Thursday night.
Johnson, who owned a security company in the area, loved his family, his community, and his country.
The shooting happened near the Raytheon complex on Thursday night in Aurora.
Officials with the Aurora Police Department said they got a call for someone trespassing at 7 p.m. Thursday. As they got on the scene, another call came in about a shooting at the same location.
Police said 35-year-old Lloyd Love was the alleged gunman. Alongside SWAT officers, police arrested him after a traffic stop not long after the shooting.
Love worked for Johnson at American Eagle Protective Services.
Police say Love was terminated but do not know why.
Johnson was a member of the military and described him as a loving man who worked tirelessly, even working at his security company along with some of his family members.
Friends said Johnson couldn’t take his wife on a honeymoon because he hasn’t had a day off in a long time.
Love already had three open criminal cases in Colorado. This includes one where a judge issued him a personal recognizance bond.
They are basically signature bonds that do not involve money or property, so long as a defendant appears in court.
