The woman and Jones had been in a relationship for roughly three years, but she’d recently broke it off due to him being “jobless” and failing to pay his bills. After she dumped him, Jones allegedly punched her in the face and fled. Though she called police, she never finalized the report.
Jones turned himself in on June 7 and the judge set a preliminary court hearing for June 15. He’s facing multiple charges, including felony murder, aggravated assault, battery and home invasion.
