Katlynn Marie Jones was 24 when she was found dead in her Jacksonville, Alabama, home on April 17, 2021. Authorities reported she had sustained multiple gunshot and knife wounds; a welfare check led to the discovery.

Also at the scene was her four-year-old son, who had a gunshot wound to the head and was transported to a Birmingham hospital in critical condition. Police identified 21-year-old Alex L. Haynes of Oxford as the suspect and described him as Jones’s boyfriend. Haynes reportedly told his mother he had killed Jones, then led officers on a multi-county chase from Calhoun County through Oxford into Talladega County; he shot himself to death in a field during that pursuit.

No possible motive had been released. If anyone knew Katlynn, her movements that day, or has information about the incident, please share what you know with investigators.
