Former reptile dealer Jeff Johnson is no more. The Oklahoma City Police Department reported that he had shot and killed himself in September 2021 in front of his wife. He was 58 years old at the time of his death.
The incident report acquired by TMZ says that Jeff was having a quarrel with his spouse in their garage on September 8. Their children were also home when Johnson suddenly raised a handgun to his head and shot himself.
Jeff Johnson’s wife immediately dialed 911 and Johnson still had a pulse when the officers arrived. He was rushed to a hospital, but was unfortunately pronounced dead on arrival. According to Johnson’s wife, her husband did not have any history of mental illness and had never attempted suicide before.
