Bettie Betty Boo Jones, 55, was killed on December 26, 2015, in Chicago when she was struck by a bullet fired by a Chicago police officer responding to a domestic disturbance. Jones lived in the building where the call originated; her upstairs neighbor, 19-year-old Quintonio LeGrier, was reportedly having a mental health crisis and armed with an aluminum bat. Jones opened the building door to let officers in and was hit as an officer fired eight shots while LeGrier charged down the stairs. Six rounds struck LeGrier, who also died.

The shooting devastated Jones’ family and community; she was a mother of five active in church and neighborhood organizations. The Civilian Office of Police Accountability later ruled the shooting unjustified, the police chief described Jones’ death as accidental, and the officer was eventually fired. The family filed a lawsuit that resulted in a $16 million settlement.

Does anyone have information about Jones’ last movements that night or about witnesses who saw the stairwell confrontation?
