Judge Keeps $500,000 Cash Bond as Defense Challenges Police Account in Louisville McDonald’s Killing

The case returns to court Jan. 26 with charges of murder, first-degree robbery and unlawful handgun possession.

Overview

  • Shoshanha Jones, 39, was arrested Jan. 13 in the Dec. 31 shooting that killed Mayra Rodriguez Munoz outside the East Market Street McDonald’s.
  • Prosecutors sought a $1 million bond, but the judge kept it at $500,000 full cash and imposed no-contact orders covering any McDonald’s and witnesses’ families, residences and workplaces.
  • Police say an argument started after a child exited a vehicle and hit Jones’ car door, leading to Jones allegedly shooting Rodriguez Munoz and taking a witness’s phone at gunpoint.
  • Investigators say they identified Jones after finding her ID near spent shell casings and note she is a convicted felon barred from possessing a handgun.
  • Jones’ attorney disputes the police narrative, saying the person described as a child was a teenager who, with the victim, approached Jones as she ate, and says Jones voluntarily surrendered.
