John Weston Horton, 50, was fatally shot on the morning of December 15, 2021, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The shooting happened around 7:30 a.m. at a Chevron gas station on Joe Mallisham Parkway while Horton was a passenger in a vehicle. The woman driving reported that her passenger had been shot; she drove a short distance down the parkway, stopped to seek help, and Horton was taken to DCH Regional Medical Center, where he later died from his injuries.

A 31-year-old man, Cornelius Rashad Jones, turned himself in to the Tuscaloosa County Jail shortly after the shooting and was arrested and charged with capital murder. Investigators described the motive as tied to a romantic relationship: Horton was reportedly involved with Jones’s ex-partner, the woman driving the car. The female driver was not physically harmed in the attack.

Are there witnesses who saw the vehicle or the shooting near the Chevron that morning who haven’t yet come forward?
