Keiron Quamari Jones was 17 when he was shot in New Haven, Connecticut, on March 20, 2022. A junior at James Hillhouse High School, he was described as a high‑honors student who loved science and hoped to become a forensic scientist or a marine biologist. The shooting occurred about 8:55 p.m. in the Dixwell neighborhood on Orchard Place. Officers found Keiron on the ground with a gunshot wound; he was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital and died the next day.

Keiron’s family remembered his love of the video game NBA 2K21 and the TV show Criminal Minds. The New Haven Police Department called the investigation complicated; in March 2023 two men were arrested and charged in connection with the killing. Rodrigo Ramirez, then 19, was charged with murder, felony murder, first‑degree robbery, conspiracy to commit first‑degree robbery, and carrying a pistol without a permit. Kerrell Lee, then 21, was charged with felony murder, first‑degree robbery, and conspiracy to commit first‑degree robbery. Both were held on $2 million bond.

If anyone in Dixwell that night or anyone who knew Keiron has information that could help, please share what is known with investigators.
