NamUs lists an unclaimed person case for a male identified as Benjarmin Tyrone Jones associated with Irving, Texas, under case number 149532 in the Unclaimed Persons database. The entry reflects that the decedent’s identity is known but his remains have not been claimed by next of kin, prompting inclusion in the national clearinghouse used by medical examiners, coroners, and law enforcement.
Unclaimed person cases in NamUs are created when authorities can confirm who the decedent is but cannot identify, locate, or engage a legal next of kin to take custody. NamUs describes these cases as part of a broader set of services that support case management and public-facing notices to encourage family contact and resolution. The program functions as a centralized, no-cost resource for agencies and families, designed to document key identifiers, circumstances, and agency contacts until remains can be claimed.
Because Irving is within Dallas County, deaths that fall under medical-examiner jurisdiction in the city are typically handled by the Dallas County Southwestern Institute of Forensic Sciences. SWIFS serves as the county medical examiner and provides decedent affairs contacts and public guidance from its facility at 2355 N. Stemmons Freeway in Dallas, which commonly interfaces with local police departments when unclaimed cases arise. In parallel, the Irving Police Department is the primary municipal law-enforcement agency for incidents within city limits, and may be listed as an investigating or reporting agency on relevant entries.
