Wilfred "Willie Boy" Johnson (September 29, 1935 – August 29, 1988) was a reputed American mobster. According to court documents and pretrial testimony, Johnson was a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) informant from 1966 to 1985, when he provided investigators with information relating to John Gotti and other members of the Gambino crime family. However, Johnson and his attorneys publicly disputed claims that he ever cooperated with investigators. Johnson was shot and killed as he walked to his car in Brooklyn.[1]
