Andre Jones Sr., 46, was shot and killed outside his Northwood Hills home on Longtree Street in Memphis on June 27, 2016. According to investigators, the power at his house was cut in the early morning while he was preparing to leave for work with Shelby County Vector Control. When Jones went outside to check the outage he was ambushed; a struggle with at least two people reportedly attempting to burglarize the home ended with Jones being shot. He managed to try to reach a neighbor’s house but succumbed to his wounds.

Jones was a deacon at the Dwelling Place Church in Raleigh and was engaged to be married. Investigators believe the power cut was meant to disable security systems and say the tactic had been used in other burglaries in the area. The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office investigated, but the case has gone cold; suspects have not been identified and no arrests have been announced.

If anyone knew Jones, witnessed activity on Longtree Street the morning of June 27, 2016, or has information about those burglaries that used power cuts, please share what is known with investigators.
