On the evening of August 9, 2018, Joseph Lee Jones Sr., 37, was shot to death in the parking lot of Lakeside Middle School in Millville, New Jersey, at about 8:15 p.m., just as a youth football practice had ended. Jones, who coached youth football, was struck 10 times in what authorities described as a targeted attack that occurred in front of children and parents gathered at the scene. The suspects fled immediately after the shooting.

Investigators determined the perpetrators had coordinated and travelled from Vineland to the middle school. During the getaway, the suspects fired at a pursuing police officer on Route 55; the officer was not injured. Authorities say the defendants attempted to dispose of vehicles used in the crime and that some individuals sought to tamper with witnesses and give false statements.

A Cumberland County jury later convicted three men, Eugene Cosby, Will El-Bey, and Clifton Bailey, of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder; other people were charged for assisting or hindering the investigation. Does anyone have information about Joseph Jones, the practice that evening, or witnesses who were at Lakeside Middle School?
