Jones is also charged with felony possession of a short-barrel shotgun or rifle. Corder's partner, officer Christopher McCray, also was shot but survived the attack. Milwaukee Police Officers Kendall Corder and Christopher McCray were shot on the night of June 26, 2025. They were initially called for a report of a person with a weapon, which was upgraded to shots fired while they were on the way. There were fights between groups of women over Jones and allegations of cheating. When the officers arrived and stepped out of their squad car, they were unexpectedly shot in an alley. The two officers were taken to Froedtert Hospital, a Level I Trauma Center. McCray was released from the hospital days later, while Corder died of his wounds on June 29. Corder had suffered three gunshot wounds, one of which severed his spine. Police later recovered a rifle from which forensics found a fingerprint, identified as Jones. Police also found a social security card, birth certificate and several debit cards with Jones' name on them inside a backpack in a nearby backyard. There was a receipt from a West Allis gun shop that showed Jones bought a gun on June 17.
