On the night of January 30, 2016, 23-year-old Ashley Jones and 28-year-old Jarrell Marshall were fatally shot inside Jones’s apartment on Clinton Place in Newark, New Jersey. Three small children, ages one, three, and four, were in the apartment and were unharmed; two of the children were Jones’s sons with an ex-boyfriend. Neighbors reported seeing Jones with a black eye about a week earlier and said she appeared shaken after a frightening argument; she had allegedly obtained a restraining order against an ex-boyfriend.

Authorities arrested 27-year-old Jeffrey Holland of East Orange and charged him with the murders of Jones and Marshall. Holland was also charged in connection with the death of 21-year-old Tiniquah Rouse, who had been found strangled and drowned in her bathtub the day before, her five-month-old baby left unharmed in a closet. In December 2018 an Essex County jury convicted Holland on multiple counts, including three counts of murder, burglary, and child endangerment, and in February 2019 he received a 190-year prison sentence.

Did anyone in the neighborhood or anyone who knew Ashley notice anything else about her movements or contacts in the days before January 30, 2016?
