J’Shaad KeVon Lylerice Jones, known as Double O, was an 18-year-old Black male from Charleston whose life ended in the early morning hours of December 31, 2015. Shortly before 2:00 a.m. he was outside Artie’s Kickback Lounge at 935 Central Avenue on the West Side when someone shot him in the torso. Jones managed to reach a field behind the lounge and collapsed; he was taken to Charleston Area Medical Center’s General Hospital and pronounced dead.

The killing occurred amid a wave of shootings on the West Side that police linked to a continuing dispute involving two groups who called themselves the Shine Boys and the Young Restless Gunnas; Jones was identified with the Young Restless Gunnas. Investigators later arrested Marlon Rush and Christopher Landric Burton and a Kanawha County grand jury indicted both on murder and conspiracy charges. Burton eventually admitted shooting Jones and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder; Rush pleaded guilty to being an accessory. Burton and Rush were sentenced in early January 2017.

Does anyone have information about Jones’s movements that night or who else might have been present outside the Kickback Lounge?
