FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS - Fairview Heights Police detained a murder suspect during a traffic stop for expired vehicle registration on May 14, 2025. At approximately 3:30 p.m., on Wednesday, May 14, Fairview Heights Police Officer Jacob Marino was on patrol when he observed a silver 2012 Chevrolet Traverse with expired registration. The vehicle was stopped, and the driver, who initially did not have identification, provided a name and date of birth. A records check confirmed the driver held a valid driver’s license under that name. Officer Marino requested a photograph from MECOMM associated with the provided name, which did not match the driver.

Further investigation revealed that Jones had an outstanding felony warrant for murder (case #23CF1801) from 2023, issued by the City of Madison,
