Homeless service agency remembers 'sweet' woman who was killed in Blue Line shooting

EVANSTON , Ill. -- Margaret Miller Johnson, one of the four people shot and killed on a Chicago Transit Authority Blue Line train this week, is remembered for her sweet demeanor and beautiful smile.People who had known Johnson for years at Connections for the Homeless in Evanston said they were not sure what Johnson was doing on the train in Forest Park early Monday—since the last time they had heard from her, she was in housing.

Bogg said Connections for the Homeless does not know why she was sleeping on the Blue Line train.'People feel like they're going to disappoint us if they didn't maintain their housing, and it makes it hard for people to ask for help,' she said, 'and I imagine that could have been the case for her.'Johnson, 64, was killed along with Simeon Bihesi, 28; Adrian Collins, 60; and a still unidentified 52-year-old man.
