NORWOOD, MA — Police have identified two men wanted in connection with Sunday's fatal drive-by shooting on Sturtevant Avenue in Norwood. Shakim Lewis-Johnson, 28, of Hyde Park, was shot multiple times outside of a friend's house on Sturtevant Avenue around 5 p.m. Sunday night. Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey is now asking for help from the public in finding Ernest Payne, 27, of Cambridge, and Anthony Loper-Feaster, 25, of Salem. Norwood Police Chief William G. Brooks says the two are likely armed and urges the public not to approach them. Brooks says the two men have ties in Cambridge and a search around Cambridge Friday morning left officers with no new information on their whereabouts. Investigators are also looking for a white 2014 Honda Accord with New Hampshire license plates that read "485328." On Sunday, Sept. 19, Norwood police found Lewis-Johnson alive but seriously injured at the scene. Police say witnesses heard five to six gunshots before tires screeching away. Lewis-Johnson was immediately flown by medical helicopter to Massachusetts General Hospital but did not survive the surgery, prosecutors said in a statement Monday.
