Quatarious DeShon Jones was 21 when he was killed on July 13, 2022, while walking on Second Street at Charter Street in Delhi, Louisiana. A black Chevrolet Tahoe pulled up, and a passenger described as a Black male wearing a pink sweater and a blue skull cap exited and opened fire. Jones, known by the nickname 1 Mac and remembered as a talented basketball player and Delhi High School graduate, was pronounced dead at the scene; two men with him suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to a local hospital.

The Delhi Police Department asked the Louisiana State Police Bureau of Investigations to take over the case. Investigators identified 19-year-old Johntaviuos Sledge of Rayville, obtained an arrest warrant, and booked him into the Richland Parish Detention Center. Sledge was charged with one count of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder.

Did anyone in the Delhi community see the Tahoe or the passenger that afternoon, or have information about what led up to the shooting?
