Overview
- Prosecutors filed charges Thursday against 23-year-old Jaylin Jones for attempted murder and aggravated battery in the June 7 shooting of a 39-year-old woman near Lincoln and Belden, officials said.
- The detention proffer alleges video shows a fight outside The Dime, Jones displaying the handle of a gun, leaving the scene and then returning before firing two shots at the woman who tried to break up the fight.
- Investigators say they linked Jones through a concealed-carry license, federal firearms purchase records for a 2024 handgun with matching caliber, and phone-location records placing a number tied to him at the scene.
- The victim remains hospitalized with severe, lasting injuries that prosecutors say led to infections, loss of fingers and toes and removal of portions of her intestinal tract.
- City police issued a summary closure for The Dime after a separate, fatal July 21 shooting nearby, and officials say the bar could reopen only if it negotiates an abatement plan covering security, cameras and earlier hours.
