Damone Omond Jones was 33 when he was fatally shot on April 15, 2017, inside a residence in Louisville’s Chickasaw neighborhood. After the shooting, people who were with him — reportedly not from the Louisville area — took him to University Hospital rather than calling emergency services, and Jones died during surgery from his gunshot wound.

Police had difficulty locating the place where the shooting occurred because those who transported him were unfamiliar with the city. Days later the Louisville Metro Police Department located the home on Winnrose Way; investigators reported the scene had been altered in an apparent effort to destroy evidence. Weeks after the killing, 34-year-old John Johnson was arrested and charged with complicity to murder and tampering with physical evidence. An alleged accomplice who was present at the time of the shooting has not been identified.

Anyone who knew Damone Jones, the Winnrose Way residence, or has information about the unidentified accomplice is asked to come forward.
