Antonio E. Jones, 40, was one of two men killed when an armed assailant entered a recording studio in the 8100 block of Hickman Mills Road in south Kansas City on January 30, 2013. The building, a former adult bookstore being renovated into a creative space, was occupied that afternoon by local artists and the studio’s co-owner, 53-year-old Mark L. Williams, known as Maestro.

Around 12:30 p.m. a gunman forced his way into the studio. Investigators say the shooter’s apparent primary target, a rap artist, escaped out a back door and ran to a nearby tire shop to call for help. After that person fled, the gunman turned the weapon on Williams and Antonio Jones; both were found dead of gunshot wounds when officers arrived. Witnesses described the suspect as a male about 5 feet 9 inches tall, 150 pounds, wearing a beanie cap. No suspect was named in the immediate reports.

If anyone has information about that day, the shooter’s description, or knew Antonio, the Kansas City Police Department’s homicide detectives want to hear from you.
