Theodore Jones, 34, known professionally as the rapper Young Greatness, was shot once in the back and killed in the early morning of October 29, 2018, in the parking lot of a Waffle House on Elysian Fields Avenue in New Orleans. Jones had been in town to attend a funeral when the attack occurred and died at the scene.

Investigators say the shooting grew out of a robbery plot allegedly orchestrated by a man described as a friend of Jones. Three people were later arrested in connection with the killing. Prosecutors identified Donald Reaux as the primary planner, alleging he intended to rob Jones of marijuana and supplied firearms to two younger accomplices, Donny Maxwell and Lovance Wix, who carried out the robbery.

Maxwell and Wix pleaded guilty to armed robbery charges; Maxwell received a 19-year sentence and Wix, a juvenile at the time, was given 20 years. In January 2023 a jury convicted Reaux of second-degree murder after evidence including security footage placed him at the scene; he received a mandatory life sentence. Does anyone have information about Jones’s movements that night or the people involved?
