Jahme Zaki Jones, 23, of Palatka, Florida, was fatally shot on December 31, 2018, during an altercation in the courtyard of an apartment complex on Campbell Street. He was taken to Putnam Community Medical Center, where he died from his wounds. Jones worked as a Lawn and Landscape Technician and was active at First Baptist Church of Armstrong, serving as an usher and Sunday School secretary/reporter.

Rondale King, 34, was arrested and initially charged with second-degree murder in connection with the shooting; that charge was later reduced to manslaughter. During the May 2022 trial the prosecution said King shot Jones as Jones was walking away from a brief tussle, while the defense said King fired in self-defense, alleging Jones tried to wrestle a handgun from him.

Does anyone have information about Jahme’s movements that night or witnessed the altercation in the courtyard?
