Leah Jones, 37, was found inside a residence on Uvalde Lane in Huntsville, Alabama, with gunshot wounds on the afternoon of December 25. First responders pronounced her dead at the scene and the Madison County Coroner later ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators quickly identified a person of interest captured on surveillance footage leaving the residence shortly after the shooting, wearing a red hoodie and camouflage pants. Leads and public tips led police to 35-year-old Marion Joseph Mercer, who was arrested in Greenville, Mississippi, by the Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force and extradited to Madison County to face a murder charge.

The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to bring closure to Leah Jones’s family. If anyone saw activity on Uvalde Lane or has information about the hours before or after the shooting, please come forward.
