Memphis police said surveillance video showed a child arriving in the stolen car that belonged to Jones.

“I just heard some things went wrong with another young man, and my homeboy, he was an innocent bystander. They said he came out the store and folks put him in some stuff that he really didn’t have anything to do with, like honestly, and he got gunned down.”
Jones is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in those shootings.
Memphis Police said they believe the Valero shooting is connected with the other shooting that happened at the Citgo Gas Station just before midnight Thursday.
“And then, later on, that day, while the police was down here, they came back and shot again like in front of the police,” Gottie said.
The owner of the Citgo showed FOX13 surveillance video of a car pulling in. The woman got out of her car, walked between two gas pumps, sat down and screamed for help. Memphis Police said the woman’s car was hit by gunfire, and she was hit by broken glass.
Community leaders said the recent shootings have to stop.
“We killing each other faster than corona.”
Police said people were inside Valero at the time of the shooting.
