Florence Jones, a 27-year-old African American woman, was fatally shot on the morning of October 2, 2019, in the Whitehaven neighborhood of Memphis, Tennessee. The same shooting left another woman critically injured, and local law enforcement opened an extensive investigation into the attack.

Investigators quickly identified suspects. On the day of the shooting, the Tennessee Highway Patrol located 19-year-old DeAndre Jones of Memphis at a Knights Inn in Murfreesboro; a search of the room he occupied with others produced a handgun, marijuana and drug paraphernalia. DeAndre Jones was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Authorities also identified 19-year-old Donte Eddings as involved in the shooting, and described his participation as part of a larger criminal enterprise that included auto theft and other offenses. Multiple defendants faced a range of charges, and the matter was presented to a grand jury as prosecutors assembled evidence linking the suspects to Florence Jones’s death.

Does anyone have information about Florence Jones, the Whitehaven area on October 2, 2019, or details that could help clarify what happened that morning?
