On the morning of March 1, 2021, seven-year-old Maddox Levi Jones was found dead from a gunshot wound in his bedroom at a home on Riverwalk Road in Bishop, Georgia. Deputies responded about 7:20 a.m. after a 911 call from the boy’s father, Douglas Jones, who reported that his wife, Alison Jones, had shot their son and was assaulting him. Douglas told dispatchers that Alison had earlier said Maddox would not be going to school because of an earache, and that after hearing a gunshot he ran to his son’s room and then disarmed Alison when she allegedly turned the handgun on him.

When the first deputy arrived the couple were on the front stoop. Alison Jones, 36 at the time, was taken into custody and charged with murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault; she was booked into the Morgan County Detention Center and held without bond. Investigators from the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation opened an inquiry; Alison was not cooperative in questioning and no clear motive had been established. Neighbors said the family appeared pleasant and there were no prior domestic-related calls to the residence.

Does anyone have information about Maddox, the family, or observations from that neighborhood around March 1, 2021?
