Dana Anthony Andrew Jones Jr., a 23-year-old Black man known to some as DJ, was remembered as an outstanding father, a friendly guy, and an amazing son. He had attended Warren Central High School in his community of Indianapolis, Indiana.

In the early morning hours of Monday, December 16, 2024, gunfire was reported at an apartment complex on the city's east side. Officers with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department were called to the 7900 block of Corinthian Court just after 12:30 a.m. on a report of a person shot.
