According to police documents, Tre’Von and his sister, Tkeyah Johnson, got into a scrap when she wanted to wash her clothes at Tre’Von’s Denton County, Texas home … but he prevented her.
Cops say Tkeyah grabbed Tre’Von by his neck in a rage over not being allowed access to the washing machine … and when he had trouble breathing — he pushed her, causing her to fall to the floor.
