On the evening of December 7, 2017, a double shooting outside LP’s Grocery and Liquor in the 4500 block of East 24th Street in Kansas City, Missouri, left 36-year-old Reginald E. Jones Sr. and 57-year-old store employee Darryl Singleton dead. The incident occurred about 7:30 p.m., after Jones had a heated argument over the phone with his 18-year-old son, Reginald Jones Jr. Witnesses and surveillance footage show the son arriving at the store, the father stepping outside to speak with him while Singleton was taking a break, and the younger Jones producing a firearm and firing, fatally striking both men before fleeing in an orange Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Jones Jr. voluntarily surrendered to police the following Monday and was taken into custody. Prosecutors charged him with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of armed criminal action. At trial in July 2019 the jury acquitted him of the murder charge connected to his father but convicted him of second-degree murder and armed criminal action for Singleton’s death, and recommended a sentence of up to 33 years.

Does anyone have information about the moments before the shooting or the orange Mitsubishi Eclipse?
