Corey Jones was a 25-year-old African American man who was shot and killed on November 20, 2019, in northeast Houston. According to the Houston Police Department, Jones and 46-year-old Jonathan Clay Helaire lived in the same home and got into a dispute over stolen property. Helaire allegedly produced a pistol and shot Jones in the head at close range. Jones was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital, where he later died.

Helaire was charged with murder and identified as the primary suspect; investigators asked anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact the HPD Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers. The community and Jones’s family called for a thorough investigation and accountability in the wake of his death.

Does anyone have information about Corey Jones, the household he lived in, or what led up to that night in northeast Houston?
