Family devastated after woman, 32, killed in road rage shooting



Jennifer Jones is dead all because the 32-year-old woman cut off another motorist while traveling in Kansas City, the woman's family said Thursday.

"It makes me angry that someone could do that to her," Jones' cousin, Julie Heiman, told KCTV5. "She was at the wrong place at the wrong time."

Police say that Jones was the victim of apparent road rage. Police believe another woman driving the suspect vehicle may have fired the fatal shot or if she didn't then someone in her vehicle did. A man may have also been in the vehicle.

Jones was traveling in a van near Elmwood Avenue and Emanuel Cleaver II Boulevard just before 6 p.m. Wednesday. Her boyfriend and a male friend were her passengers.

A traffic dispute turned to verbal words, then violence.

"She cut someone off and they cut off her," Heiman said. "And then it happened. They argued for a while and then the other person started shooting."

I would recommend a life sentence for whomever shot her, and 100 years for the other people in the car who helped the shooter.

Yeah, an armed society is a polite society.

that someone doesn't cut off my 18 wheeler. Getting scary out on the road. I just hope I can live long enough for April to get here and retire. .

...such beauty and youth, surely the light of her family and friend's eyes. Senseless murder in our streets. I read on here somewhere that there had been over 200 murders in America before the night even arrived last night. Life means nothing to those who shoot guns in the middle of traffic.

What is with all the gun violence as of late? (not that it hasn't always been, but it's just getting ridiculous...)

Swear at someone who cuts you off, fine, but for fuck sake, it's not a capital offense.

That poor woman. Those poor kids.
