Jones is facing multiple felony charges, including three counts of second-degree murder and three counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. The Nov. 13 shooting at an on-campus parking garage behind the drama department building killed UVA football players Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis and D'Sean Perry, and wounded surviving victims, UVA football player Michael Hollins Jr. and Marlee Morgan, a sophomore at the university.
A 12-hour manhunt ensued, and more than 500 students sheltered in place as authorities conducted a building-by-building search for the suspect until Jones’ eventual capture off-campus in Henrico, Virginia.
