On 6/6/2022 at approximately 2200 hours, I was directed by supervision to respond to the incident location to investigate this incident. The incident location is in the immediate area of Fort Meade Road in Frostproof, Florida, which is within the jurisdiction of Polk County, Florida.
Upon arrival on scene, after obtaining sworn recorded statements from the victims and witnesses, it was determined that the suspect, Iris Johnson, actually and intentionally stabbed the four victims with a sharp object after getting in a verbal altercation with three of the victims. In doing so, Iris intended to cause the death of the
four victims that went beyond just thinking or talking about it. Iris acted with a premeditated design to kill the four victims. The act of stabbing the victims would have resulted in their deaths, but Iris failed in doing so.
The four victims received the following injuries as a result of this incident:
REDACTED : stab wound to right upper back, stab wound to right side of neck, and a collapsed lung.
