Jennifer said she’d spent Tuesday afternoon with her brother before he left for their mom’s complex for a barbecue with friends he’d recently met.

According to Dallas Police, a man shot and killed Jones after the two got into an argument in the breezeway of the apartment complex.
"I just don't see my brother making someone angry enough to take his life. I just don't,” said Jones.
While police haven't released a description for the suspect, the family believes it's a man Geoffrey had recently befriended.
Jennifer said while the suspect remains on the run, the family is figuring out what a future looks like without her younger brother, not just for themselves, but for the little girl he and his fiancé were preparing to welcome this fall.
"He was just so excited. He was excited to be a father. He wanted a family life. He wanted to raise his daughter, be in his daughter's life, all of it,” she said.
For his little girl, Jennifer said they’re committed to keeping Geoffrey’s memory alive while fighting for closure through the arrest of the man responsible for taking his life far too soon.
Anyone with information about Tuesday night’s shooting is asked to call Dallas Police.
