Jakob Andrew Jones, 23, was fatally shot on January 1, 2024, in an alley near Fat Boss’s Pub in downtown San Angelo, Texas. The shooting followed a road rage encounter days earlier between Jones and 33-year-old Ryan Joaquin Renfroe, and a heated exchange on social media that ended with the two agreeing to meet in person. Jones arrived at the alley with friends and, according to witnesses and nearby church security footage, was the only person to exit the vehicle and approach Renfroe before shots were fired. Renfroe reportedly retrieved a 9mm handgun and fired two shots that struck Jones.

Renfroe remained at the scene and was arrested by the San Angelo Police Department. He was charged with murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and his bond was set at $750,000. Jones is remembered by family and friends as a kind, free-spirited person whose talents and presence left a lasting impact on those who knew him. If anyone has information about the events leading up to that night or knew Jakob, please come forward.
