Dominique Marquee Jones, 29, was killed in a downtown Bridgeport shooting in the early morning hours of October 8, 2022. Police found Jones unresponsive in a parking lot near Fairfield Avenue and Broad Street after reports of shots fired around 1:40 a.m.; he had suffered gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other men were also wounded.

Surveillance outside the former Murphy’s Law bar captured Jones and his brother greeting two men later identified as Joseph DeJesus and Kenneth Joyner. The interaction reportedly began with handshakes before gunfire erupted; Jones was struck in the torso and lower extremities and collapsed amid numerous spent casings, and his brother was injured in the exchange.

By October 25, 2022 Joseph Omar DeJesus, known as Fat Joe, had been arrested and charged with murder, assault and multiple firearm offenses. Authorities later took Kenneth Joyner into custody and charged him with murder, first-degree assault and carrying a pistol without a permit; officials said they did not anticipate further arrests. If anyone has information about the events that night or knew Dominique, please come forward.
