A Coconut Grove shooting on June 19, 2024, left 57-year-old Christopher Jones dead. Police responded around 1:30 a.m. to 3320 Southwest 37th Avenue after a report of a shooting. Jones was found with gunshot injuries, taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital, and later died. He was a lifelong Coconut Grove resident, often seen riding his bicycle, and is survived by a son who is a police officer in Georgia, a grandson, and other family members.

The Miami Police review of surveillance footage identified 38-year-old Albert Antown Sistrunk of Richmond Heights as the suspect. According to the arrest affidavit, Jones was on Douglas Road when a white Nissan SUV stopped, Sistrunk allegedly exited, pistol-whipped Jones, then fired, striking him in the left shoulder. Sistrunk was arrested June 20, 2024, after leaving a house and driving a blue Honda Accord; the white Nissan was later found parked at 14484 SW 299 Street. The arrest affidavit did not provide a motive.

If anyone in Coconut Grove remembers seeing Jones that night or has information about the white Nissan or blue Honda Accord, please share what is known.
