One of the hearings was delayed from last week so they could be held at the same time. Maurice Jones\u2019 bond is set at $5 million and Michael Jones\u2019 bond is set at $2 million.<\/p>\n

The court appearances are in connection to a shooting just after 1 a.m. on April 19 near Carter Lake Shore Drive and Ames Avenue.<\/p>\n

A 19-year-old woman and two 20-year-old men ended up in the hospital after the shooting.<\/p>\n

The Jones brothers were 19 years old at the time of the incident.<\/p>\n
