A homicide investigation began in Magnolia, Mississippi, after 52-year-old Rene Jones was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head inside a parked truck in March 2019. The truck belonged to Greg Robinson and was parked at Robinson’s residence at 1690 Magnolia-Progress Road. Deputies recovered a handgun at the residence that investigators believe was used in the shooting.

Authorities say the 911 call prompted officers to the scene and that the chief investigator believes Robinson shot Jones while both were inside the truck. Robinson’s past includes a 2003 arrest in a prostitution sting in which ten men were taken into custody. The motive for the killing had not been established at the time of the investigation. Funeral services for Jones, who was born in Bogalusa, Louisiana and lived in Magnolia, were held at the end of March at Shady Grove MBC in Osyka.

If anyone knew Rene Jones or has information about what happened that day, please come forward.
