On February 4, 2002, 62-year-old Frances Jones of Cleveland, Ohio, was shot and killed outside her home on Sandusky Avenue at about 7:45 P.M. She had just parked and was approaching the side door when burglars confronted her; moments later shots were fired and she was fatally struck. Her husband returned home shortly after and found her in their driveway.

Jones was an active neighborhood volunteer involved in anti-crime efforts, and her death devastated family and community members. The Cleveland Police Department continues to investigate, with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office and local Crime Stoppers highlighting the case and asking the public for information.

If anyone saw activity around Sandusky Avenue that evening or has information that could identify the burglars, please come forward.
