At Rest

Deadly force
Jones was followed after he carjacked a car in Lexington County, police said. Deputies, Columbia police and state troopers surrounded the apartment complex. Officers tried to subdue him with nonlethal force in the parking lot of an apartment complex, but he repeatedly lunged at the officers with the knife before he was shot and killed.
This record exists so that Eric Maurice “E.J.” Jones, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
