Dusharme Mandell Jones, 24, was shot dead inside his home in the 1300 block of Fairfax Avenue in Bessemer, Alabama, on December 15, 2020, at about 9 p.m. Officers who arrived found him deceased on the floor from a gunshot wound. He was a Black male.

Witnesses who had been in the residence said they were robbed earlier that evening by a slender Black male about 5 feet 9 inches tall. Shortly after the robbery, a gunshot came from another part of the house and Jones was later discovered. The armed assailant was seen fleeing with a second unidentified man.

The Bessemer Police Department investigated the robbery and fatal shooting, and appeals for information have continued. As of early November 2024, no arrests have been announced; Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama has offered a cash reward for tips. If anyone has information about that night or the two men who fled the home, please come forward.
