Overview
- On July 23, 2026, Joe Rogan said a man who sat on his podcast in 2024 was arrested weeks later in connection with a gruesome New York City killing.
- Investigators say officers found dismembered remains in a Bronx apartment on March 5, 2024, and they arrested Sheldon Johnson later that month on charges including murder, manslaughter, criminal possession of a weapon and concealment of a human corpse.
- Police and prosecutors reported that a torso and arms were recovered at the victim’s apartment and that other body parts, including a head and legs, were later found in a freezer in Johnson’s residence.
- Surveillance footage described in reporting allegedly shows a man matching Johnson’s description entering and leaving the building with bags and cleaning supplies, returning in different clothing and a wig, and carrying a blue bin similar to the container where torso parts were found.
- Johnson, who had been released from prison around 2019 and appeared on Rogan’s show as a reentry and criminal‑justice advocate, pleaded not guilty and remains entitled to the presumption of innocence while the case proceeds.
