A Stearns County Judge found Johnson guilty of 2nd degree murder back in March

Johnson's brother, Lawrence Johnson was sentenced to 34 years and seven months back in March, in the murder of Unity McGill.

The case against a third man, Bryant Stephenson, is still ongoing.

The men are accused of getting into a fight with another man on the dance floor with McGill getting caught up in the fray.

Records show bouncers removed the three defendants from the bar, but surveillance video shows them re-entering a short time later. The three men are then seen finding McGill on the dance floor and attacking him.

McGill died from multiple stab wounds.
