Some serious accusations have recently come against former Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson, as TMZ Sports is reporting that the former NFL star has been accused of funding a murder-for-hire shooting that left two men dead in 2016.

TMZ Sports made it clear that Johnson has not been formally charged and is denying the allegations against him. However, officials are making their case against the former star running back.

From TMZ Sports:

Long story short, officials believe CJ2K rewarded a gang member with cash after the guy allegedly killed two men who were suspected of gunning down Johnson’s friend in 2015.
Here’s the backstory … Johnson nearly died in a shooting in Orlando, Fla., back on March 8, 2015 … when Orange County Sheriff officials say someone opened fire on a Jeep that Chris was in at around 4 AM.
Johnson suffered a bullet wound to his shoulder and made a full recovery … but the driver of the vehicle, his friend, Dreekius Johnson, did not survive the attack.

Citing court documents. TMZ is also reporting that an informant told law enforcement that Johnson funded the day-to-day operations of Florida gang member of Dominic Bolden, who is accused of being the shooter in the 2016 murders of the two men.

Johnson, a native of Orlando Florida, had a 10-year career in the NFL but was most well-known for his time with the Tennessee Titans (2008-13).
