Jaques Jones, 27, was found dead in the Sandpiper apartments on Tigerland Avenue in Baton Rouge in the summer of 2021. Baton Rouge police were called around 10:30 a.m. and investigators determined Jones died of a gunshot wound.

The Sandpiper building had a history of serious crime complaints and numerous police calls in the years before the shooting, including reports ranging from a double homicide to rape; the District Attorney had filed a petition seeking an abatement order against the property because of ongoing safety concerns.

Authorities arrested 20-year-old Coron Davis in connection with Jones’s death; Davis was booked on second-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon. Did anyone in Baton Rouge know Jaques or have information that could shed light on what happened that morning?
