In the pre-dawn hours of February 21, 2022, Jerome Johns, 26, was found shot and lying in the middle of a street on the North Side of San Antonio near the Coronado Apartments off Lorene by Loop 410. Police and emergency medical personnel responded to reports of shots fired around 4:30 a.m.; Johns was pronounced dead at the scene after life-saving measures.

Investigators say Johns had been involved in a verbal argument with another man just before the shooting. Detectives questioned a woman who was with Johns and several other people at the apartment complex, searched the vehicle Johns was found beside, and processed evidence where he fell. A witness identified 35-year-old Kyle Jones, known as Detroit, as the person who shot Johns. Jones was arrested March 6, 2022, booked on a murder charge plus four misdemeanors, and later indicted for murder by a Bexar County grand jury; the case was pending trial in June 2022.

If anyone who lived near the Coronado Apartments or witnessed activity around Lorene or Loop 410 that morning has information, please come forward.
