A domestic dispute in Kosciusko, Mississippi, ended with the death of 31-year-old Markquarius Jones on August 8, 2024. The shooting occurred at about 1 p.m. at a Marathon gas station on Highway 12 East. Jones was taken to Baptist Medical Center-Attala with a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Authorities quickly focused on a domestic conflict. Jones’s 26-year-old wife, Semyia Jones, was identified as the alleged shooter; both she and the victim were at the hospital when police arrived. The Kosciusko Police Department arrested her and charged her with murder. She was booked into the Leake County Correctional Facility with bond set at $1 million.

Friends and family remembered Markquarius as a dedicated father. Does anyone have information about what led to the dispute that day or witnessed the incident at the gas station?
