How they died
Suicide
Byron Jones, an Atlantic city employee and brother of former Cass County sheriff Larry Jones, allegedly stole a city dump truck at around 10:30 p.m. Witnesses said Jones then tried to cut through the door to the Upland Supply sporting goods store with a gas-powered saw before ramming it with the truck. The witnesses reported seeing Jones leaving the store with several stolen guns. Atlantic officers, Cass County deputies and state troopers chased Jones, but said they lost sight of him before finding him dead next to the truck along a remote gravel road. Police said they found a shotgun containing a single expended shell casing near Jones' body.
