Among Marcus Deon Johnson's (right) many prior criminal cases is a 2008 family violence arrest in which he was accused of attacking his wife at the time, Shawana Lane, during an argument in Dallas. According to the terms of his two-year probation sentence in that case, he was barred from contacting Lane, records show. The Dallas courts show no indication that he violated his probation -- until yesterday morning.
Johnson, 35, is now at the Dallas County Jail on a murder charge in Lane's death. Police say the 22-year-old mother of three was stabbed multiple times at her Red Bird apartment. Her young children were home at the time of her brutal killing. At least one of them, a 3-year-old child, witnessed the attack.
Below is the affidavit for arrest warrant and the terms of probation in Johnson's prior family violence case involving Lane. You can also view the affidavit for arrest warrant in the murder case here.
