Anna M. Ferriman, 62, of Columbus, Ohio, was killed on March 16, 2015, after an intruder broke into her condominium. Ferriman, a nurse’s aide at Mount Carmel East, left work shortly after midnight, stopped at a bank and grocery store, then returned home where she encountered 24-year-old Jeremay M. Jones. He then set the condo on fire; firefighters found Ferriman’s body about seven hours later. The fire was ruled arson, and an autopsy showed the gunshot caused her death before the blaze began.

Police later arrested Jones and charged him with aggravated murder, aggravated robbery, aggravated arson, and tampering with evidence. Investigators reported that a bullet recovered from Ferriman matched the gun Jones had when taken into custody and that Jones had been involved in other break-ins earlier that night. A reward had been offered for tips leading to an arrest. Ferriman is remembered by friends for her dedication to work and her two shelter cats, which were lost in the fire.
