DeJohn Jones, 24 and from Union City, was shot to death on August 5, 2017, inside an apartment on Ralston Avenue in Belmont. Jones had gone to the unit early that morning to retrieve personal belongings after a recent breakup with his ex-girlfriend, Jolie Harris, and was accompanied by his sister and cousin. Several other people were in the apartment, including Jovhon Stewart and Stewart’s girlfriend.

An argument between Jones and Stewart escalated and Stewart shot Jones four times. Two bullets struck Jones in the back, one struck his head and another his arm. Jones was unarmed. Multiple people at the scene identified Stewart as the shooter. Stewart was later arrested at a BART station in Union City and held on a no-bail warrant.

Few details about motive have been made clear beyond the breakup and the dispute at the apartment. If anyone was present that morning or has information about what led to the shooting, please come forward.
