At Rest

Deadly force
Jones allegedly shot Sammy Butler who suffered two gunshot wounds. The initial shooting stemmed from a domestic dispute. Police responded to multiple 911 calls indicating a shooting had occurred in the area. An officer spotted the alleged shooter and that's when gunfire was exchanged between police and Jones. County prosecutor ruled death a "suicide by cop".
