Johnson and his brothers Michael and Nadel led the Driftwood Crips gang in 2005, which terrorized the Jane-Finch area and trafficked in drugs

former co-leader of one of Toronto’s most notorious gangs was found guilty Wednesday of second-degree murder and attempted murder charges in a Club Whispers shooting spree.

After a day of deliberations, a jury found Peter Johnson, 27, guilty of killing innocent bystander Jeffrey Lewis, 31, and wounding Simeon Chase on July 2, 2006 outside the Weston and Rogers Rd.-area club.

The 44-year-old Chase barely survived but still has the bullet lodged millimetres above his heart.

Johnson, who was aiming for bouncer Albert Grant who had him in a headlock, was given an automatic life sentence for murder. His parole ineligibility period — between 10 and 25 years — must be set by Justice Ian Nordheimer in a hearing to begin Friday.

Once Grant released Johnson from the headlock, Johnson fired from point-blank range, but missed Grant, striking Lewis in the head. The shooting was captured on video, which was played at the trial.

Johnson — nicknamed “P Dawg” — was once a co-leader of one of Toronto’s most notorious gangs, the Driftwood Crips.

This was Johnson’s second trial on these allegations as an earlier trial ended with a hung jury that indicated nine members believed he was guilty and three believed he was innocent.

Justice Eugene Ewaschuk declared a mistrial after the jury communicated that it was deadlocked after four days of deliberations.

The homicide isn’t alleged to be gang-linked. Instead, several cowards perpetrated a botched robbery on a female cashier at the club that erupted in deadly gunfire.

Johnson and at least three of his cohorts allegedly pulled out guns almost simultaneously. None of the other gunmen have been officially identified. Only Johnson fired his weapon.

The jury did not know Johnson and his brothers Michael and Nadel led the Driftwood Crips gang in 2005, which terrorized the Jane-Finch area and trafficked in both drugs and guns. The Johnson brothers were dubbed “The Three Generals.”

Toronto Police raided the gang and arrested some 80 people in June 2007, culminating an almost year-long investigation. “P Dawg” was already in jail awaiting trial on the second-degree murder and attempted murder charge for Club Whispers shootingswhen police charged him in the massive Project Kryptic investigation in July 2007.

“The Three Generals” weren’t running the show anymore, a source told the Sun in 2009. But Peter Johnson was still communicating with other gang members, wiretaps revealed.
