William Jones was 26 when he was shot and killed in the early morning hours of September 14, 2018. The meeting that preceded the shooting had been arranged in a parking lot next to an apartment complex near 8100 N. 35th Avenue in Phoenix, where Jones met 22-year-old Ashley Rios. After being shot there, Jones made his way to a different apartment complex near 3200 W. Cactus Road, where Phoenix police arrived at about 5:17 a.m. and found him with gunshot wounds. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

A month-long investigation identified Ashley Rios as the person who allegedly arranged the meeting, shot Jones, and fled. The Arizona WANTED Violent Offender Task Force located and arrested Rios in Tucson; she was booked into the Pima County Jail on a one-million-dollar bond on suspicion of killing William Jones.

If anyone saw Jones or either location around the early morning of September 14, 2018, or has information about the meeting, please come forward.
