On October 2 at 5:45 a.m., officers responded to the 2700 block of Port Tobacco Road in Nanjemoy for the report of a home invasion. Upon arrival, officers located two women who had been stabbed multiple times. They were subsequently transported to an area hospital by helicopter with life threatening injuries. Initial investigation revealed Deon Lennard Johnson, 24, of Port Tobacco, went to the victim’s residence in violation of a peace order which had been issued in May of 2019. After forcing entry into the home he stabbed his ex-girlfriend’s mother and attempted to abduct his ex-girlfriend. When she refused to go with him, he also stabbed her before fleeing the scene. Investigators learned that Johnson has violated this same peace order in August of 2019.  He was previously charged and is awaiting trial. Johnson currently has an active arrest warrant for attempted first-degree murder in connection with this incident. We are asking for the public’s help in locating him. Anyone who sees Johnson or knows of his whereabouts is asked to call 9-1-1. Johnson is approximately 6’2” in height and weighs approximately 175 pounds. He should be considered armed and dangerous.
