In the winter of 2021, the burned, stolen car of 31-year-old Lamar Douglas Jones was found on the side of Blanchard Road. Jones was inside the vehicle; investigators determined he had been shot before the fire and ruled his death a homicide.

Authorities identified Jamarius dAngelo Rogers as a suspect and arrested him on a murder charge tied to Jones. Rogers was also charged with possession of a weapon during a violent crime and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and investigators noted he was not legally permitted to possess firearms. While being held without bond on the Jones case, investigators said Rogers may be connected to other violent crimes, including two other murders, and asked the public for information. The two men were described as friends who often listened to music together.

If anyone knew Lamar, his movements in winter 2021, or has information about Rogers and possible links to other cases, please share what you know.
