On the night of March 4, 2022, a car was found crashed into a house in the 1300 block of Judson Street in Dothan, Alabama. The vehicle’s lone occupant, 36-year-old Kevin Montrea Jones of Albany, Georgia, had been shot in the upper torso and was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators say the shooting occurred while the car was parked on the street; afterward the vehicle moved backward, tore through a chain-link fence, struck a utility pole, and finally hit the residence. Police indicated a suspected drug-related motive.

Authorities noted Mr. Jones had been wanted at the time; he had escaped a Houston County Community Corrections work-release program in November while serving a 10-year sentence for theft and robbery and had served about one week before fleeing. Within days of the shooting, five people were arrested: 20-year-old Alec Jamez Killingsworth was charged with capital murder, a Dothan juvenile was charged as an adult with the same offense, and Nikesha Baldwin, Kelly Victoria Arnold, and David Sanford were charged with hindering prosecution. Does anyone have information about Mr. Jones’s movements or contacts in Dothan that night?
