DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — A Lithonia woman accused of shooting and killing the father of one of her children has been convicted by a jury in DeKalb County.
According to a release from the DeKalb County District Attorney’s office, jurors returned guilty verdicts Friday against Quaneesha Nicole Johnson, 30, on charges of voluntary manslaughter, two counts of aggravated assault-family violence, two counts of cruelty to children in the third degree, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
On November 26, 2022, Johnson had gone out clubbing with her friends and left her three children with Demonte Smith, 29, the father of her youngest child.

Smith expected Johnson to return home at 6 a.m. and when she did not return, he called her several times. The release detailed that Smith was worried because Johnson had called him earlier that night and said she and her friends got into a fight with other people in the club.
Smith called some members of Johnson’s family, who also became worried because her phone was off.
They all called local hospitals and jails looking for her.
The DA’s release stated that around 9 a.m., Johnson turned her phone back on and saw text messages from Smith. She called her family members, who conference-called Smith into the conversation. Smith was angry and threatened to hit her when she got home.
According to the investigation, Johnson called 911 to ask for a police escort to her home in Lithonia on Nov. 27, 2022.
When she returned to the home about two hours later, one of the DeKalb County police officers who responded told her to put her gun in her car.
The release from the district attorney stated that Johnson told the officer there were no other weapons in the house. Police say Smith came outside and argued with Johnson in front of the officers. The officers tried to resolve their dispute, but say Johnson continued to talk over them and was combative with them.
The officers sent Johnson and Smith inside the house to calm down.
The release details the moment when Johnson asked officers about self-defense.
As she walked inside, Johnson asked the officers what would happen if she shot Smith “in self-defense” and told them that she had already looked up the self-defense law.
