Tanya M. Jones, 41, was found dead from gunshot wounds inside her South Bend home in the early morning hours of March 2, 2015. Police responded to reports of shots fired in the 1400 block of North Olive Street and the St. Joseph County Metro Homicide unit took over the investigation. Jones, a lifelong South Bend resident, was a Washington High School graduate who had attended Ivy Tech College and was remembered by family as a loving mother to a daughter who was about 12 at the time.

An autopsy confirmed the death was a homicide caused by gunshot wounds to the chest. Investigators interviewed witnesses and processed the scene, but a motive was not publicly released and no arrests or suspect identifications have been announced. Anyone with information about what happened to Tanya Jones is asked to come forward.
