Herman A. Jones Sr. was a 50-year-old Baltimore Police Officer and 24-year veteran who was shot and killed on May 26, 1993, inside a Chinese food carryout in the 1500 block of North Gay Street in East Baltimore. He had just finished a 4 p.m. to midnight shift and stopped at the restaurant for food. While waiting for his order, three teenagers entered in an attempted robbery and grabbed the off-duty officer, who was wearing a light jacket over his uniform. One of the teenagers, armed with a .38 caliber handgun, shot Officer Jones twice; despite being mortally wounded he returned fire and struck two of the assailants.

All three suspects were apprehended shortly after the incident and were charged as adults with first-degree murder and handgun violations. The gunman was identified as 17-year-old Herbert Squeaky Wilson; the others were Clifton Chip Price, 17, and Derrick N. Broadway, 16. Herbert Wilson was convicted of first-degree felony murder, use of a handgun in a violent crime, attempted armed robbery, and conspiracy to commit armed robbery and was sentenced to life plus 40 years.

Did anyone who knew Officer Jones or was in that neighborhood that night see anything that could still help clarify what happened?
