At Rest

Deadly force
DC Metro officer Reginald Levester Jones was part of a six-man robbery conspiracy that left one of the conspirators dead. The six met at an auto-detailing shop, Jones using the patrol car in the commission. The robbery went awry, leaving the target wounded, one of the six (Alston) shot dead, and Jones fleeing from the scene in the face of citizens' cries for help. Jones got 15 years for 2nd-degree murder and other federal charges.
This record exists so that Arvel Alston, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
