Aaliyah Johnson Charged in Burlington Shooting

Aaliyah Johnson, a 22-year-old from South Burlington, has pleaded not guilty to a first-degree murder charge for the shooting death of 30-year-old Teville Williams outside Red Square in Burlington. The incident occurred early Saturday morning following an altercation inside the bar, where Johnson claimed she was assaulted by Williams. After being removed from the bar, Johnson approached Williams on Church Street and shot him multiple times, leading to his death at the University of Vermont Medical Center. Johnson was apprehended at the scene with a .45 caliber pistol and is currently being held without bail pending further court hearings. The investigation revealed that police had to manage a large crowd at the crime scene, which complicated their efforts to provide immediate assistance. Mayor Emma Mulvaney-Stanak expressed condolences to the victim's family and commended the first responders for their efforts.
