On the morning of February 26, 2022, 17-year-old De’Marion Jones was shot inside J’s Wireless, a cell phone store on the 9300 block of Lewis and Clark Boulevard in Jennings, Missouri. Body camera or 911 times are not provided, but surveillance video shows Jones entering the store at about 10:45 a.m. and an acquaintance already inside. That acquaintance, identified by authorities as 19-year-old Joeron Mottley, produced a firearm and shot Jones in the chest as Jones walked through the door.

Jones ran into the parking lot while wounded and Mottley pursued, continuing to fire. St. Louis County Police from the Jennings precinct responded just before 11:00 a.m. after a sounding security alarm; Jones was found critically injured, taken to a nearby hospital, and pronounced dead shortly thereafter. Detectives later obtained a confession from Mottley, who admitted shooting Jones after seeing him enter the business; the two were known to each other. On March 8, 2022, the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney charged Joeron Mottley with first-degree murder and armed criminal action and he was held on a $500,000 cash-only bond.

Does anyone have information about Jones’s movements that morning or recall seeing the two at the store before the shooting?
