Maurese Kegler Jones, 25, was fatally shot on February 16, 2019, while standing with a group outside 98 South Sixth Street in Darby Borough. Prosecutors described the killing as an execution: the gunman singled Jones out and fired six times, four bullets striking his head at close range. Surveillance from a nearby firehouse and a corner store captured the assailant approaching Jones, shooting him, and fleeing.

Three days later authorities arrested 27-year-old Ronald Collins Jr. of Upper Darby; video placed Collins with the brother of a man named Aaron Henderson hours before the shooting, and prosecutors suggested a possible link to Henderson’s December 2017 death. Collins’s clothing at arrest resembled what the shooter wore on camera, but no DNA or gunshot residue tied him to the scene and his defense argued police had pursued tunnel vision. Collins was tried in 2019 and acquitted by a jury in March 2022, leaving the murder unsolved.

Does anyone have information about Jones, his movements that night, or the people seen in the surveillance footage?
