On January 28, 2020, Marc’Anthony Vontrell Jones, a 19-year-old Black male, was shot inside a residence in the 1100 block of South Sprigg Street in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. First responders found him with gunshot wounds and he was taken to a local hospital, where he later died.

The Cape Girardeau/Bollinger County Major Case Squad led the initial investigation, working for about 96 hours to collect evidence and interview witnesses before disbanding on February 1, 2020. The case was returned to the Cape Girardeau Police Department detective division. No arrests or formal charges were reported during that initial effort and the homicide remained an open investigation.

Jones’ family described him as someone who enjoyed electronics and video games and who hoped to work in the technology field. If anyone has information about the shooting, please contact the Cape Girardeau Police Department.
