Mia Katherine Jones was 25 when she was shot and killed in her Hobart, Indiana, home on July 17, 2007. A mother of two and a 2000 graduate of Lew Wallace High School, she worked for the Gary Health Department and is remembered by family and community for her dedication to her children.

After the shooting, her husband, Tyrone Jones Sr., left the house with their two young sons and drove to his parents’ residence before contacting authorities. Officers who returned to the scene found Mia deceased. A jury later found Tyrone Jones Sr. responsible for her death, convicting him of voluntary manslaughter on the basis that he acted in a sudden heat of passion and sentencing him to 40 years in prison.

Anyone who knew Mia or was in Hobart that summer and has information about what happened that day is asked to come forward.
