Christopher Dasean Jones, a 23-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on March 28, 2014. He was shot just steps from his front door, and his death was described as the city’s third homicide of the year during a stretch that had already seen six homicides, all involving young Black males.

No arrests have been made and the murder remains unsolved. The loss has prompted local churches and community centers to hold vigils and panel discussions about youth-perpetrated violence and black-on-black crime, with organizers calling for positive alternatives for young people and better employment opportunities.

Investigators have not identified significant leads, and the family continues to seek answers and justice. If anyone has information about Christopher’s shooting on March 28, 2014, please come forward.
