Pastor Kenneth Johnson was killed for the fake gold chain he is pictured wearing around his neck.
A pastor form South Florida was shot dead after he refused to hand over his fake gold chain to two men who tried to rob him as he left a local market.

67-year-old Kenneth Johnson, of Power of Faith Deliverance Ministries, was ambushed by two men.

Witnesses say that the robbers had targeted a fake gold chain the pastor had around his neck and they struggled over it before the senior citizen was shot dead.

Johnson’s wife, Latoya, grieved over the loss of her husband after hearing the news,

“He was my world. He was my world,” she said. “He was a good pastor, a kind, good-hearted man. Why would they do that? Why would they take his life? Just take the chain and go — go home.”

Mohammad Bashier, the supermarket owner who witnessed the murder, recalled the pastor as “a very nice man.”

“I heard the shot. They went up behind him. And one grabbed him, and the other shot him,” said Bashier.

Police questioned two men in connection with the pastor’s death but no arrests have been made.

Pastor Johnson had served in Liberty City for more than a decade and friends in the area said he was a man who would open his heart and his wallet to help the community.

Community leaders now believe that the pastor’s death could spark an awakening in the community because of how connected he was.
