Anthony Jones, 31, was fatally shot during a drive-by attack on February 26, 2023, after leaving a large house party in west Phoenix south of Lower Buckeye Road near 71st–75th Avenue. Police say Jones and a friend were walking back to a vehicle around 3:00–3:05 a.m. when a newer-model black Chevrolet Camaro came southbound, stopped abruptly, and a confrontation occurred about the Camaro’s erratic driving. Multiple shots were fired from inside the Camaro, striking Jones and his companion; Jones was taken to a hospital and later died. Bullets also hit several parked vehicles and an occupied home before the Camaro fled the scene.

Investigators publicly described the Camaro’s driver in broad terms and later sought a Hispanic male believed to be behind the wheel. A cash reward was offered for information. Mid-June 2023 media reports said a 20-year-old man had been arrested in connection with the shooting, but available coverage does not include a name or later court details. Online memorials remember Jones as a hardworking, fun-loving father and leader who worked at the Marshalls Phoenix distribution center.

If anyone has information about the Camaro, its occupants, or the events that night, please come forward.
