CAPE CORAL, Fla. (WKRC) - A son allegedly murdered his mother after months of abuses that were reported to the police, including an incident in which he cut the power to her home and left her immobile in a powered recliner.

Cape Coral police were dispatched to a residence at around 1:25 p.m. on September 16 after a person called 911 to report that they discovered their mother's body inside her home, per a news release. The caller said that family members were unable to reach the woman for a worrying amount of time, so they drove to her house and found "bloody foot prints" that led them to the body of 69-year-old Rosemary Johnson. The victim reportedly had "a significant number of stab wounds to her head and neck."

CAPE CORAL, Fla. (WKRC) - A son allegedly murdered his mother after months of abuses that were reported to the police, including an incident in which he cut the power to her home and left her immobile in a powered recliner.

Cape Coral police were dispatched to a residence at around 1:25 p.m. on September 16 after a person called 911 to report that they discovered their mother's body inside her home, per a news release. The caller said that family members were unable to reach the woman for a worrying amount of time, so they drove to her house and found "bloody foot prints" that led them to the body of 69-year-old Rosemary Johnson. The victim reportedly had "a significant number of stab wounds to her head and neck."
From your article:

two major incidents in January and March of 2025 that resulted in Rosemary filing a petition for an injunction for protection "against domestic violence."

"On March 12 he grabbed my arms and held my arms down and bruised my arms and wrist and spit in my face over trying to take my phone (since he doesn't have one)," Rosemary wrote in her petition.

Furthermore, the documents said that Johnson suffered from an unspecified mental illness that Rosemary identified as schizophrenia, making him unable to work.

"He doesn't have an income. He is unable to work because of his mental health," she wrote. "Devin lives with me but now I am staying at my daughters because I don't feel safe around him."

Rosemary wrote that she pressed charges against him after he hit her with a "closed fist on the head," resulting in him spending a month in jail. In that same incident, Johnson allegedly left his mother immobile and stranded in a recliner after cutting power to the house.
