Daron Jones, 31, was shot once in the chest and killed on a porch in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in the early hours of September 27, 2020. ShotSpotter detected gunfire on Worth Street shortly after midnight; officers found Jones unresponsive and medics pronounced him dead at the scene.

The investigation identified Jarrel Baker as a suspect. Baker was taken into custody within a week by the Bridgeport Police Tactical Narcotics Team and found in possession of a handgun. He later told detectives he shot Jones during a feud involving an associate of Jones and said he believed he was being set up. Baker initially faced murder and weapons charges; in January 2024 he pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter with a firearm and in March 2024 was sentenced to 35 years in prison followed by five years of special parole. Jones was remembered by family as a hardworking father, a twin brother with a magnetic personality who was loved by many.
