Homicide
Noble Street, 3300 block, May 25, 6:30 a.m. Police responded to the call for a sick man. Upon arrival, they found medics had already arrived and had pronounced the individual, Hardy Jones, 26, of Essex, dead of a gunshot wound. According to reports, a family member had seen Jones’ car, a 2005 Mercury, parked at the corner of Clinton and Noble streets with Jones unresponsive at the wheel shortly after 2 a.m. The family member assumed that Jones (who was out on probation for a previous offense) was intoxicated; the family member had taken the keys out of the ignition and closed the car door. The next morning, the family member found that Jones had not awoken, and called 911.
