Clarence Jones was 16 when he was shot and killed in Harlem in the early morning of October 24, 2024. He was found near West 124th Street and Lenox Avenue at about 1:40 a.m. with a gunshot wound to his torso and was taken to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His father was present at the scene as emergency responders worked on his son.

Police and witnesses said two male suspects fled on Razor scooters, westbound on 125th Street, both wearing black Nike hoodies and black pants. A passing car was struck by a stray bullet during the incident; the driver was hospitalized for injuries from shattered glass. The NYPD released surveillance images while investigating and on November 1, 2024, patrolling officers arrested a 15-year-old boy after recognizing him from a wanted poster; he was charged with second-degree murder. It was not clear then whether the second suspect had been apprehended or what the motive was.

If anyone knew Clarence, saw activity near West 124th Street and Lenox Avenue that night, or has information about the two scooter riders, please share what you know.
