Kevin Jones, a security guard at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, was shot and killed in the early hours of June 7, 2015, while on his way to work. Later that day police pursued Keith Davis Jr., 31, in connection with an alleged taxi robbery; the chase ended at a West Baltimore auto garage where officers fired dozens of shots and Davis was hit multiple times but survived. A handgun recovered inside the garage was later tied by prosecutors to shell casings from Jones’s murder and Davis was charged in Jones’s killing.

Davis faced four separate murder trials between 2017 and 2019: the first ended in a mistrial, the second produced a guilty verdict later overturned because of issues with a jailhouse informant, the third was a hung jury, and the fourth resulted in another guilty verdict that was also overturned. Throughout, Davis maintained his innocence and activists raised questions about evidence and alleged misconduct. In January 2023 all charges against Keith Davis Jr. were dropped, with the newly elected City State’s Attorney citing prosecutorial missteps; Kevin Jones’s family remained without a conviction in his killing.

Does anyone have additional information about Kevin Jones’s case or knew him personally that could help fill remaining gaps?
