Antoine Tone Jones was 24 when he was shot fatally in the early morning of Saturday, December 13, 2025, in the East Garfield Park neighborhood on Chicago’s West Side.

Detectives continue to investigate and are asking the community for information; reports say friends were present after the shooting but no immediate suspects were identified or detained at the scene.

Born September 14, 2001, to Anne Jones, Antoine was known as Tone and remembered for his love of the outdoors, his music — playing guitar and writing songs — and an infectious laugh. If anyone was in the area that night or knew Antoine’s routines, please share what you know with investigators.
