In the early morning hours of August 4, 2019, 42-year-old Marlow Andrew Jones of Jackson, South Carolina, was shot and killed in Augusta, Georgia. The shooting occurred shortly after 1 a.m. in front of the Studio Neighborhood Bar on 11th Street near Greene Street. Emergency responders pronounced Jones dead at the scene and his body was taken to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Lab for autopsy.

A 29-year-old man, Mario McKie, was also shot and wounded in the same altercation and taken to a local hospital. McKie was later arrested and charged in connection with Jones’s death, facing murder, aggravated assault, and firearm possession counts; he was held in custody for two years before being granted bond in 2021. Jones’s family and friends remembered him as a gifted athlete at Lucy C. Laney High School who played basketball, football, and baseball.
