A homeless man recently released from jail and found dead in an alley behind a tire store in north Amarillo less than 24 hours later caused an online stir when false rumors circulated that he was turned away from area shelters. Jamey Scott Johnson, 53, who was reported to be homeless, was found dead Thursday morning behind Peerless Tire Shop on Amarillo Boulevard by workers at the store.
