HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) A Houston-area family has filed a lawsuit against a construction company saying their loved one, a personnel scout for the Houston Rockets, was killed while riding his bike in a dangerously unfinished section of a sidewalk.
On Oct. 15, Brent BJ Johnson lost his life on the stretch of Almeda Parkway and Shadow Creek.
He was loved by his family, friends and the NBA community and traveled the world as part of Basketball Without Borders, the NBA and FIBA s global basketball development and community outreach program.
Johnson was also very involved with the Basketball Africa League. His wife and son told Eyewitness News he was an experienced bicyclist and always wore protective gear. They said that day was no different.
