Fulton County police seek leads in cold-case murder as mother pleads for justice
Rufus Jones Jr. was shot and killed on October 9, 2004, at a park in Fulton County.
ATLANTA - Sandra Alexander-Hugley told FOX 5 her heart aches just as much as it did when she received the call October 9, 2004, indicating her son, Rufus Jones, Jr. had been shot at a Fulton County park on Pleasant Hill Road. Her 19-year-old son was dead near the baseball field by the time she arrived leaving her to suffer from lots of unanswered questions and a gaping wound in her heart for more than sixteen years.

GREAT BARRINGTON â As Rufus Jones Jr. worked the trading desk at a Wall Street firm, his own music inundated him.
âI would send myself texts and emails and voice messages to capture all the melodies in my head, because I couldnât keep up,â the part-time Great Barrington resident said.
Then came the cornavirus pandemic that confined him to his Jersey City, N.J., apartment. Soon, there would be other horrors in the 2020 news cycle, including the death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis Police custody in May.
For Jones, the news sparked more songs, and the music flying through him needed more of his time. In November, he quit that day job after amassing his own recording equipment, and learning do-it-yourself-style production and distribution.
