On the evening of August 15, 2025, Jamie Jones, age 53, a man from Fayetteville, North Carolina, was shot outside a home on the 1900 block of Poplar Drive. Officers were dispatched just after 5:15 p.m.; they found Jamie Jones in the front yard with multiple gunshot wounds. Despite attempts at life-saving measures, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Witness accounts were not immediately released, but police quickly focused on events within the household.
Investigators identified a family connection central to the case and confirmed that the victim and the suspected shooter were related. The initial scene description and timeline anchored the investigation: a call for help around 5:17 p.m., a residential block off Hope Mills Road, and a fatal encounter that ended before medics could transport Jamie Jones.
By the next day, officers announced an arrest. Jamie Jones’s 29-year-old son-in-law, Calvin Foster Jr., was taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the killing of Jamie Jones, age 53. Authorities said he was booked into the Cumberland County Detention Center; records and news reports indicated he was held without bond while detectives continued to process evidence and interview those connected to the family.
Public records documenting incidents of gun violence and memorial pages later reflected the core facts: the date of death, the location in Fayetteville, and the fatal shooting of Jamie Jones, age 53. These listings, which draw from police reports and local coverage, align with the account provided by responding officers and the charges announced after the arrest of the alleged shooter.
