Marlon Jones (born c. 1970–1980) is a Jamaican criminal[1] who was added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list in December 2016.[2] He was captured within one day of being on the list.
He is allegedly connected to an October 15, 2016 shooting at a Los Angeles, California house being used as a restaurant, that left four people dead and ten others wounded.
Jones is part of a Jamaican gang with drug-related operations along the east coast, and had residence in New York at the time of the murders, though he was in the country illegally.[3] It is unknown if Marlon Jones is his real identity, as he has a history of using fake names and birth dates.[4] [5]
Jones was added to the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted list on December 1, 2016, following the murder of four people during a shootout at a West Adams, Los Angeles residence that was being used as a restaurant called Dilly's Kitchen on October 15. Among those killed by Jones was Robert 'Rodigan' Davis, a fellow Jamaican gang leader. The murders are considered to be gang related.[6] [7]
On December 2, after receiving a tip, the Los Angeles police stopped a vehicle Jones was in on the 110 freeway, after which he fled the vehicle and was quickly apprehended.[8]
Jones was charged with four counts of murder and pleaded not guilty.[9]
