Two brothers, Austin Lee Jones, 32, and his older brother Jacob K.S. Jones, were found dead in their Wenatchee home on July 10, 2021. A friend who went to the residence on the 500 block of Methow Street discovered one brother unresponsive in a bedroom and called police. Officers arriving about 5:50 p.m. located the second brother also deceased in the same bedroom. The Chelan County Coroner’s Office determined both sustained fatal gunshot wounds.

Wenatchee police opened a homicide investigation but said they did not believe there was an ongoing threat to the public. As of the most recent account, no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced. Family and the community held a graveside service at Fraternal Cemetery in Chelan and a celebration of life to mourn the brothers.

If anyone has information about what happened to Austin and Jacob Jones, please come forward to the investigation.
