Brian R. Jones was a 27-year-old New York City Police Department officer assigned to Police Service Area 4. On October 13, 1996, while off duty in East New York, Brooklyn, he and a fellow officer tried to take a man into custody in connection with an assault. The suspect produced a handgun, and both officers fired, wounding that suspect.

During the chaotic exchange a second person, not seen by the officers, fired a shot that struck Officer Jones in the back of the head, killing him. The wounded suspect was taken into custody, but the second shooter who delivered the fatal shot escaped the scene. No information about the subsequent identification, arrest, or conviction of that second individual is provided.

Officer Jones had served with the NYPD for four years. Does anyone have information about the second gunman or the events that night?
