Anthony Marcel Jones Jr., 27, was found shot to death near an abandoned house in the Kennedy Estates area just outside Jupiter, Florida, on July 6, 2015. Deputies responding to reports of a shooting discovered his body. Investigators say the killing followed an argument over a cell phone.

Jones had a long history of arrests and struggles with drug addiction and had spent time in and out of the Palm Beach County Jail. His father, Anthony Jones Sr., said his son did not deserve such a fate, and family members described him as a good person despite his troubled past.

A 17-year-old, Deaundre Davis, was arrested in connection with the shooting; witnesses testified Davis shot Jones during the dispute over an iPhone. A key witness acknowledged being a longtime drug addict and high at the time of the incident. What details about motive or other participants remain unclear to readers with information about Jones, the dispute, or the shooting is invited to come forward.
