Azoria R. Jones was a 15-year-old Black female from Milwaukee who was fatally shot on September 21, 2025. She had been the subject of a missing-person alert after last being seen on August 6 near North 12th Street and West Atkinson Avenue. More than a month later, she was with her boyfriend, Javier Smith, when the two were walking near North 76th Street and West Silver Spring Drive around 10:19 p.m. A Milwaukee County Transit System bus captured surveillance footage that recorded the gunshot and showed Azoria fall to the pavement.

She died at the scene of a single gunshot wound to the chest; the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide by gunshot wound. Investigators focused on Smith after learning of their relationship. His statements to police changed several times: he initially denied shooting her and denied owning a gun, later claimed a passing vehicle was about to open fire and that a gun he was carrying accidentally discharged, and eventually acknowledged firing the shot and disposing of the firearm.

Does anyone have information about Azoria’s movements in August and September 2025 or about the walk on Silver Spring Drive that night?
