On May 10, 2023, both men encountered one another at a gas station near 6355 Jimmy Carter Boulevard. The two men were unfamiliar to one another, according to police.
During the investigation, surveillance video showed the two men exchange words before Francis, who was armed with a box cutter, attacked Jones, and knocked him from his wheelchair.
Jones got back into his wheelchair and called Michael Joe Kelly Davis, who brought a handgun to the gas station to give to Jones. Investigators say Jones wheeled his way toward where Francis was and fired multiple shots at Francis, killing him.
