On January 22, 2022, Deyvonndra L. Jones, a 40-year-old Black woman and a Chief Petty Officer in the United States Navy who enlisted in 1999, was found inside her Bellevue, Nebraska, home near 22nd and Jefferson Street with multiple gunshot wounds. Police were called after a man identifying himself as her husband said he had shot his wife. The couple’s child was reportedly asleep upstairs during the incident.

Responding officers discovered Deyvonndra with life-threatening injuries. Emergency responders began aid, but all local medical transport units were busy, requiring a unit from a neighboring city to take her to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, where she later died. Bellevue police arrested 43-year-old Lovell Jones Jr. at the scene; he was booked into the Sarpy County Jail and charged with second-degree murder, first-degree domestic assault, and use of a weapon to commit a felony.

If anyone knew Deyvonndra or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know with investigators.
