Sandra Jones, 72, was shot dead in her Westland, Michigan home on February 20, 2014. Police were called to the Melvin Street residence after a neighbor reported that Sandra’s 76-year-old husband, Marvin Jones, had confessed to shooting her. Officers found Sandra deceased in bed from a gunshot wound to the face and noted multiple rounds had been fired into the walls and floors, suggesting a violent escalation during an argument.
Several firearms were recovered from the house where the couple had lived for more than five decades. Marvin Jones was arrested at the scene and charged with first-degree murder and a felony firearms offense; a not guilty plea was entered on his behalf and he was held without bond. Neighbors reported Marvin Jones had been struggling with Alzheimer’s disease, a detail referenced in the initial investigation.
Does anyone who knew Sandra or the neighborhood have additional information about the events that led up to that afternoon?
