Johnson, 24, was eight blocks from home when he got into an argument with his killer, who shot him in the back and arm. EMS rushed Johnson to Lincoln Hospital but he could not be saved.

Three other men, who have not been caught, aided Williams in the killing, according to court papers.

Williams is also charged with shooting and wounding a 26-year-old man four months earlier and about a mile away.

He allegedly fired multiple times, striking the victim in the left hand about 12:25 a.m. April 29 before running off from E. 137th St. near Willis Ave. The victim was treated at Lincoln Hospital.

Two weeks after the earlier shooting, cops released surveillance images of two men they were looking to question. The second suspect, who had a cast on his arm, remains on the loose.

Williams was nabbed over the weekend at the Jackson Ave. subway stop, just a few blocks from the scene of the fatal shooting. An NYPD neighborhood coordination officer recognized him as being wanted.
