On December 28, 2023, at about 3:05 p.m., police responded to a report of a shooting in the 900 block of Saint Michaels Drive in Bowie, Maryland. Officers found 37-year-old Timothy Emmanuel Jones of Washington, D.C., inside a vehicle with gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Prince George’s County Police Homicide Unit led the investigation and at one point offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment. In early January 2024 authorities arrested 18-year-old Harvey Barnes III of Upper Marlboro. Investigators say the preliminary probe suggests the shooting occurred during a dispute between Barnes and Jones, who had mutual acquaintances; Barnes was charged with first- and second-degree murder and related counts and held without bond.

If anyone in Bowie or the surrounding area has information about Timothy Jones, his activities that day, or the dispute mentioned by investigators, please come forward.
