On the afternoon of March 21, 2018, Angelisha Nicole Jones, a 21-year-old Black woman and mother of a four-year-old daughter and a one-year-old son, was fatally shot at the Dickens Ferry Apartments in Mobile, Alabama. She was rushed to Providence Hospital but died of her injuries. The day before the shooting she had reported to Mobile Police that her boyfriend, 25-year-old Kenneth Smith, had threatened her life.

Authorities identified Kenneth Smith as the shooter at the hospital and arrested him; he was later charged with murder. Smith is the father of Jones’s youngest child. He was released on bond, a decision that distressed Jones’s family. By October 2021 the family reported repeated postponements of Smith’s trial, delays that were linked to a broader backlog of murder cases in Mobile County worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Who has information about Angelisha Jones, her children’s care after her death, or the case timeline that could help the family find closure?
