Manslaughter Suspect Hit Victim In The Head With A Propane Tank In Century Death, ECSO Says
February 23, 2022
A Flomaton man charged with negligent manslaughter in the death of a Century man last July allegedly caused his death by hitting him in the head with a propane cylinder.
Timothy Lavon Johnson, 34, remains in the Escambia County Jail in Pensacola with bond set at a half million dollars.
As NorthEscambia.com first reported last week, Johnson is charged with the death of Christopher Lynn Hunter, who passed away 10 days after he was injured. An arrest report we obtained Tuesday provides more information about the incident.
According to the report, Johnson struck Hunter in the head at least once with a steel propane cylinder such as is used on an outdoor grill. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to an aggravated battery report on Hilltop Road at Alger Road at 11:18 a.m. on Sunday, July 18, 2021.
They arrived to find Hunter bloody and beaten, crawling around the ground, the report states. He was transported to the hospital, where he died on July 28, 2021.
Witnesses on the scene were interviewed, but provided very little information about what happened.

@ Melisa Hunter
I know God will forgive this killer, but he has to live with what he done everyday of his life.
And I hope Timothy Johnson sees Chris’s face everyday for the rest of his life.
Sorry for the multiple messages.
It wouldn’t accept my message all together.
Love you FOREVER Christopher Lynn Hunter
When I hug and kiss our grandsons, and daughter, they’ll get DOUBLE hugs/kisses.
One from me and one from YOU.
Miss you soooooo much!!!!
@ Melisa Hunter
I love you too!!! And you are very welcome.
I done everything I done for Chris because I loved him so very much. If I had it to do all over again, I would, and would try my best to do even more for him.
Everyone that knows me, knows that my two children and my three grandchildren are my world!!!
They have my whole heart.
The only other person that I ever let in my heart with them was Chris.
You’re misunderstanding the comment, it’s not intended as insult to Donna, but a reminder that karma has rules!!! Wishing or doing wrong to another only invites bad karma onto ones self, even Jesus forgives murderes, but that doesn’t mean he forgets their sin.
I am his sister, Chris, he was a very good man, you don’t understand nothing about the love of a family can be if you say that to Donna. She loves Chris no matter. I myself hopes he gets more in prison.
So please the ones who want to commit on what other’s say, until you have been in their shoes and walked a mile don’t say not one word. Love you Donna thank you for being there for him.
Manslaughter? I’m pretty sure if this dude picked up a propane tank and battered this man in the head (sleeping or awake), he had full intent on killing the guy and probably thought about it before many times.
I don’t know all of the circumstances surrounding this man or his brother’s death but that’s a lot of suffering for the family to handle. God be with them.
Come on now Donna!!! Don’t invite ill will onto yourself by wishing it on others, it’s not worth it no matter how heinous the other person may be, you’re better than that! Hope you can find peace.
Just as long as ESCO does not put him in the old dilapidated jail. Wouldn’t want him to be uncomfortable.
I PRAY what you done to Chris happens to YOU!!
You deserve DEATH!!
You are a COWARD!! Hitting a man while he is sleeping with a propane tank!!!
YOU are a CRUEL HEARTLESS ANIMAL that I pray NEVER sees the outside of those prison bars.
We love you Christopher Lynn Hunter and miss you so very much!!!
You will NEVER NEVER be forgotten!!!
Vengeance is the Lords and this demon will pay for what he done to you.
