Jefferson City police said their investigation into a July murder is at a standstill.
On July 15, Jefferson City police went to the 900 block of Jackson Street for a report of a weapons offense and found Demond Jones, 35, of Jefferson City, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in the roadway.
He was given medical attention at the scene and taken to a local hospital but died while in transport to a hospital in Columbia.
Family members and witnesses described the suspect as a Black man with dreadlocks and said he was seen fleeing the area on foot.
Officers recovered multiple spent shell casings in the area consistent with statements and phone calls to the 911 Center.
"The family has met with us and been trying to help however they can, but we need information from more of the witnesses to this crime," JCPD spokesman Lt. David Williams said. "Someone out there knows something that can help us with our investigation."
