Roderick BJ Jones, 33, was killed in the early hours of a February weekend night in 2015 while working a security detail at the Opyum Lounge nightclub on 8 Mile and Telegraph in Detroit. A veteran Army Ranger and a Highland Park Reserve Officer, Jones was managing security through his own firm when an altercation led to him ejecting two men. Later one of the men, identified as Walter Jennings, allegedly tried to re-enter the club; Jones refused him entry. Jones was taken to a nearby hospital and died of his wounds.

Detroit Police investigators identified a suspect quickly. Within days the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office announced the arrest of 35-year-old Walter Jennings of Detroit and charged him with first-degree murder, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and a felony firearm charge. If anyone knew Roderick Jones, his movements that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
