Family seeks answers after mother of 4 gunned down while driving to work in Philadelphia

A grandmother and grandfather are starting over by raising four grandchildren after their daughter was shot and killed in Philadelphia.

Now, they’re hoping that the public will have information that can lead them to her killer.

“She was a beautiful, spirited person. You know everybody that came in contact with Kasheeda, they loved her,” said Bani Jones.

Bani and Kenneth Jones said last November, they were planning their holiday dinner when their world shattered.

“It happened so fast like she was here one minute – we was planning for a family Thanksgiving dinner – and she was gone the next,” Bani said.

At 9:15 p.m. on November 17, their daughter, Kasheeda Jones, was heading out to work.

The Joneses say she picked up her boyfriend, who was going to drop her off and take her car home.

“He said they were driving and they came to a stop sign and shots rang out,” Bani recalled.

The shooting happened along the 800 block of West Venango Street in North Philadelphia.

Jones was hit by the bullets, but her boyfriend was not.
