Jonathan Wayne Jones, 48, was found dead inside his home in west Jefferson County, Alabama, on October 5, 2021, the apparent victim of a shooting. Investigators say a struggle likely occurred before the fatal gunfire and early evidence suggested the incident may have been a robbery gone wrong.

Detectives identified a suspect quickly. On October 7, 2021, Le’Antoan Devonte’ Patterson was located, interviewed and arrested; he was charged with capital murder in connection with Jones’s death. Authorities also identified a second person believed to have been involved and obtained a capital murder warrant for Justin Torionne Taylor, who had not been apprehended at the time the case details were released.

The community was left reeling while law enforcement continued to seek information about Taylor and the circumstances leading up to the fatal shooting. If anyone knew Jonathan, his movements that week, or has information about Justin Torionne Taylor’s whereabouts, please share what is known with investigators.
