Students at Clark Atlanta University are mourning the sudden death of a beloved classmate. James Jones, a 21-year-old junior was shot and killed in a robbery after responding to a deal on Craigslist about an iPhone 6.
Brenard Williams, captain of the football team said he knew Jones well and expressed his devastation to WSBTV in Georgia.
“He was a great young man, very humble, well dressed, he really represented the school well and I’m just sad he had to leave this way,” said Williams.
CAU issued a university-wide email stating, “This is a devastating loss for the Clark Atlanta University family. Mr. Jones was a serious scholar and a king, engaging spirit whose work and comportment spoke well of the University’s core values and those long ago instilled in him by those contributing to his upbringing.”
Police have charged 18-year-old Jordan Baker, 19-year-old- Jonathan Myles, and 21-year-old Kaylnn Ruthenberg in his death. For more information of the story see the video here.
