Richard R. Jones, a 28-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on March 28, 2020, in East St. Louis, Illinois. The shooting followed an altercation in a neighborhood described as having high crime rates. Local police and the Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis investigated, interviewing numerous people and collecting evidence, but progress was hampered by a lack of cooperation from potential witnesses.

Months after the killing investigators developed new leads and arrested an individual who was charged with first-degree murder; the charged person’s identity was not disclosed in the material available. Jones’s family has been active in seeking justice, attending community meetings and working with local advocacy groups to keep attention on the case and on violence in the community.
