Stoney Jones, a 37-year-old African American tow truck driver, was shot and killed on August 8, 2018, in Chicago. The shooting happened in the afternoon inside the office of a South Side tire shop in the 8000 block of Stony Island Avenue. Jones was meeting a customer who needed four tires when a masked gunman approached him on the street in front of the shop and shot him multiple times before fleeing. A store worker witnessed the shooting but could not identify the shooter because of the mask.

Jones left behind three children, ages 6, 7, and 14, a long-term girlfriend, and family including his mother Judy Jones, sister Brandy Jones, and cousin Ranita Mitchell, who described him as friendly and outgoing with a good sense of humor. There have been no arrests or suspects identified and the case remains open.

If anyone has information about that afternoon on August 8, 2018, please come forward to investigators.
