"The investigation began Tuesday morning when emergency dispatchers received a 911 call reporting the body of a man lying in a field, Cleveland police said.

David Cousin Jr., 35, was found on the ground shot multiple times, according to the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office.

Officers forced entry into a home near where Cousin's body was because they smelled smoke, police said.

A fire had been started in the home, authorities said. There police found the bodies of 25-year-old Takeyra Collins, 6-year-old Armond Johnson Jr. and 2-year-old Aubree Stone, according to the medical examiner's office.

Collins had been shot multiple times, according to the medical examiner's office.

The children died from smoke inhalation, according to the medical examiner's office.

Collins was the children's mother, according to ABC Cleveland affiliate WEWS.

Armond Johnson, the father of one of the slain children, has been arrested and charged with aggravated murder, authorities said.

"We hope and pray that this person never sees the light of day again," Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams said at a news conference on Thursday.

Johnson is the only suspect at this time, the chief said.

Investigators believe David Cousin was a neighbor who happened to stumble upon the suspect when he was leaving the area, police said."

 
Armond Johnson was given four consecutive sentences of life without parole for killing four people in Cleveland’s Slavic Village neighborhood in 2019 – including two children.

Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Timothy McCormick handed down the sentence to Johnson just two weeks after a jury determined that he should not be given the death penalty, citing "the aggravated circumstances did not outweigh the mitigating factors beyond a reasonable doubt."
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley’s office previously said Johnson shot and killed 25-year-old Takeyra Collins inside her residence on July 8, 2019.

“He then set the house on fire and fled the scene,” according to the prosecutor’s office.

Her two young children -- including Johnson’s 6-year-old son -- were both inside the residence at the time and died as a result of the fire. A 35-year-old man was then shot and killed in a vacant field near the residence.

The victims in the case have been identified as follows:

  • 35-year-old David Cousin
  • 25-year-old Takeyra Collins
  • 6-year-old Armond Johnson Jr. (his son)
  • 2-year-old Aubree Stone

“Armond Johnson brutally murdered four people including his own son,” O’Malley said in a previous statement on the case. “His callous actions demand that he face the ultimate punishment.”
