A Philadelphia man was found guilty of murdering a man at the Jersey Shore in 2023 after he jumped from a third-floor window to escape police, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office. <\/p>\n
This all started on Nov. 7, 2023, when officers with the Atlantic City Police Department were called to South Florida Avenue after a reported shooting, officials said. <\/p>\n
When they got to the scene, they said that they found a man who had been shot in the head. <\/p>\n
During the investigation into the shooting, investigators reported that the victim was shot less than one hour after he was in a fight with 37-year-old Jamar Jones. <\/p>\n
Jones was seen buying a mask at a nearby convenience store before going back to where the victim was and shooting him. <\/p>\n
The entire incident was caught on surveillance cameras. <\/p>\n
One month later on Dec. 11, Jones was charged with the murder and was allegedly on the run, officials said. <\/p>\n
Then, as a SWAT team tried to take Jones into custody on Feb. 20, 2024, he reportedly tried to escape the agents by jumping from a window on the third floor of an apartment building along North Martin Luther King Boulevard. <\/p>\n
Jones was badly hurt during the fall and the agents were able to arrest him. <\/p>\n
Jones was found guilty of charges including murder and possession of a handgun for unlawful purpose. <\/p>\n
He is scheduled to be sentenced on March 26, 2026. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Philadelphia man was found guilty of murdering a man at the Jersey Shore in 2023 after he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":99558,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[14733,915,69,71,70],"class_list":["post-99557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-atlantic-county","tag-new-jersey","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99557"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99557\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/99558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
