Chelsea Jones was 22 when she was shot in the head while seated in the passenger seat of an SUV in the Shaw’s supermarket parking lot in Bath, Maine, on November 16, 2015. She was taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland and died three days later. The firearm involved was a 9mm Taurus that belonged to Jones.

Her 23-year-old fiancé, Dylan Grubbs of Thomaston, arranged to meet a prospective buyer in the parking lot to sell the handgun. While Grubbs was outside the vehicle showing the gun, it discharged and struck Jones; the prospective buyer witnessed the incident and was interviewed by police. The shooting was initially treated as accidental and Grubbs cooperated with investigators.

A Sagadahoc County grand jury later indicted Grubbs on manslaughter and on possession of a firearm by a prohibited person; he was arrested and held at Two Bridges Regional Jail. In November 2016 he pleaded guilty to domestic violence reckless conduct with a firearm, the manslaughter charge was dropped, and he was sentenced to two and a half years. Reports during the proceedings stated Grubbs believed the gun was unloaded when it fired.

If anyone knew Chelsea or was at the Shaw’s parking lot that day, please share what was seen or heard.
