On February 24, 2023, deputies responded to a shots-fired call at a Sergeant Bluff residence and found 50-year-old Gerele Jones and 40-year-old Ashley Rogers with gunshot wounds. Jones died of his injuries at the scene. The suspected shooter, 43-year-old Raymond Rogers, was found with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound at the same residence.

Investigators say Raymond Rogers allegedly broke into the home where his estranged wife, Ashley Rogers, was living with Gerele Jones, shot both adults, and then shot himself. A 12-year-old boy, identified as Gerele Jones’s son, called for help during the attack and was credited with prompting the swift law enforcement response.

Raymond Rogers survived his wound and was charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder, burglary, and stalking; he pleaded not guilty in June 2023 and has since been found mentally incompetent to stand trial. Does anyone have information about Gerele Jones, the household, or the night of February 24, 2023?
