Jones, a 54-year-old photographer, cameraman and house-flipper, was fatally shot Aug. 31, 2019 as he was reportedly driving through the area looking for a house to buy near Lehigh Street in the city. According to police reports, Jones might have had a verbal confrontation with his assailant who reportedly was driving a red vehicle. That information has not been validated. Police have no new clues or information in the killing.
