On the evening of July 23, 2018, 18-year-old Antonio Jones was fatally shot in Kansas City, Missouri. The shooting happened around 7:30 p.m. in the 3800 block of East 59th Street, near Swope Parkway, while Jones sat inside his sister’s vehicle. He was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries.

Jones was a recent Central Academy of Excellence graduate, an honor student and National Honor Society member, and a basketball player who planned to attend Metropolitan Community College-Penn Valley to study accounting. Family remembered him as a loving person and a jokester.

Police released a surveillance image of a person of interest described as a male in a white t-shirt and dark pants and asked the public for help. Despite a reward and the released image, no arrests were immediately reported and the motive remained unknown.

If anyone knew Antonio, saw the area that evening, or recognizes the person in the image, please share what you know with investigators.
