  • In Delaware County this week, Tara Jones was charged with involuntary manslaughter and firearm offenses for purchasing her son's gun used in a 2024 shooting after her son was sentenced to life in prison last November.
  • Authorities allege Tara Jones purchased the firearm her 17-year-old son used to shoot Alonzo Byrd five times in March 2024.
  • Charging documents reveal Tara Jones faces involuntary manslaughter, firearm, and weapon transaction charges, with a plea deal risking 11–16.5 years in prison.
  • Jones, the sole provider for her two children, faces charges linked to her son’s murder conviction, while Byrd’s mother laments only having memories of her son.
  • Jones' next court date is scheduled for August 18 with a trial set for September, risking an 11 to 16.5-year sentence if convicted.
