Franklin Jones Jr., 32, was found fatally shot in an interior hallway of the Hyatt Place hotel near Stonecrest Mall in Lithonia, Georgia, in the early hours of Sunday, August 2, 2015. DeKalb County police discovered his body at about 3:00 a.m.

At the time, Jones, his longtime girlfriend Jennifer Liggons, and their three children were staying at the hotel while homeless. Investigators say Jones was unarmed and that there were no signs of a struggle at the scene. A suspect, 35-year-old Tito Ivey, was arrested and charged with murder after claiming he shot Jones in self-defense, a claim investigators say was not supported by the evidence.

The shooting abruptly left a family without a partner and father. Does anyone have information about Franklin, his family, or the circumstances that night that could help clarify what happened?
