A more than a year-long investigation by MPD detectives implicated the five suspects in the shooting death of Jones at the Campus Crossing Apartments, 285 N. Rutherford Blvd., Dec. 4, 2020. The investigation revealed the five people involved lured Jones to the location under the pretense of selling marijuana and then ambushed him. Crime Scene technicians recovered bullet casing from five different firearms.
Boyd also received injuries in the shooting.
MPD Special Investigation Division detectives are also investigating possible gang ties between several of the suspects.
The investigation is ongoing.
