Suspect in Amador Jones shooting will be released

PHILIPSBURG--The only suspect arrested in connection with the murder of Amador Jones will be released and handed over to Immigration, the Prosecutor's Office announced on Tuesday.

The victim in a drive-by shooting in Dutch Quarter last week Wednesday, a St. Kitts national, was arrested shortly after he was released from St. Maarten Medical Center. He had been detained after he told police that he had recognised his shooter to be Amador Jones' brother.

The Prosecutor's Office issued a statement on Tuesday that the investigation since last Saturday had revealed that the man from St. Kitts did not fit the description of the masked man who shot Amador Jones at a bar and carwash on L.B. Scott Road on April 16. The statement added that there were not enough grounds to keep the suspect in custody. For these reasons, he will be turned over to Immigration and repatriated to St. Kitts.

The statement from the Prosecutor's Office did not touch on how the St. Kitts national was connected to the Jones family, how he had been able to recognise Jones' brother, or why he had reason to believe that Jones' brother attacked him.
