Virginian-Pilot, The (Norfolk, VA) - December 19, 1992 
While police remain tight-lipped about the investigation into Tuesday's triple
slaying near Chesapeake Boulevard and Sewells Point Road, a court affidavit
indicates up to four people may have been involved in the crime.

So far, police have:

Arrested Troy A. Johnson, 24, of the 3900 block of Morning Light Ave. in
Virginia Beach. He was charged with capital murder and using a firearm in the
commission of a felony.

Issued an arrest warrant for a second suspect, Roderick D. Jordan, 22, of
Washington. He is still at large.

Confirmed Friday that they are looking for ``multiple suspects'' in the
execution-style killings.

The lone survivor of the slayings told police that three or four black males
shot and killed her companions at 1054 Joyner St. in Norfolk, according to a
search warrant affidavit filed Thursday in Virginia Beach Circuit Court.

The victims were Frank C. Ridley Jr., 29; Chauncy C. Johnson, 30; and Denita
Moore, 26.

According to the affidavit, the witness, whose name was withheld by police for
her safety, ``provided information that led to the identity'' of Troy A. Johnson.

Virginia Beach police searched Johnson's home Wednesday, but did not say what
they found. As of Friday, the search warrant had not been filed, but the
affidavit said police were looking for guns, ammunition, bloody clothing, books,
ledgers and personal papers.

Norfolk police have released virtually no information about Johnson, Jordan, or
the other suspects.

Troy A. Johnson's neighbors said Johnson and the men with whom he shared the
house were quiet, almost secretive. One neighbor said Johnson told him the group
was with the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Neighbors said people went in and out of the home at all hours of the night.
Court records show that Johnson's only criminal offense is a conviction for
driving with a suspended license in 1989.

Memo: Staff writer Joe Jackson contributed to this story.
