We are reading and hearing reports that former Beltway Boxer Gary "Fast Hands" Jones has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Cinaway Morson this past Monday.
According to police reports, Jones allegedly shot Morson in the Sweet Soul Cafe and Lounge on Southern Avenue in Oxon Hill, MD just before 5 PM on January 13. Jones was the owner of the club. According to WJLA-TV, authorities received an anonymous tip that someone had been shot inside the building, which was closed to customers. When the police arrived, they found Morson shot to death. Police tracked down Jones a short time later and found what may have been the murder weapon.
The 35-year-old Jones (22-2, eight KO's) fought off and on from 1996-2011. Previous legal issues kept Jones away from the ring for almost eight years. Jones is the older brother of the fighting Russell Family.
First of all, I've been writing about Gary Jones probably since before you were born. I was unaware that he had a club.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately this is news that must be reported on. I will not report much more on this. However, it must be reported on.
That comment is not needed for this information was in the paper and on the tv good job gary
ReplyDeleteI agree with you “Anonymous writer”….Gary Digital Williams – I believe you’ve reported about Gary “Fast Hands” Jones since 1996, So, Why don't you elaborate on the unreported positive accounts of Gary Jones? Too often, Reporters don't include the positive accounts that you might expect to find from someone who has been reporting on him for over a decade.
ReplyDeleteGary Jones used to shadow box all the time at round 1. His hands were faster than........a speeding bullet.
ReplyDeleteGary Jones was a boxer with extensive legal issues. Gary Jones allegedly shot someone. Gary Williams is not reporting this story to make him or the black folks look bad. He is reporting on news related to a former boxer, which is perfectly within the scope of his blog. If you guys are worried about the image of black boxers, don't blame Gary Williams (don't kill the messenger). Blame Gary Jones or start doing something about it by helping educate the young black community.
ReplyDeleteAlways the race card! Next you will say Kayne West is a great example for our black youth. If Jones did this, he is a criminal, but Gary did not report anything other than that. Give our brother break you racist piece of garbage who set our people back a hundred years!
ReplyDeleteGary is doing his Job a very good one too...he did nothing wrong he keeps the fans updated and it's not his fault it's bad news. The best thing any of us can do to help is pray to God for peace on earth.
ReplyDeleteTo the first commenter....why would anyone write something positive about a murderer? Gary Jones killed someone. That is negative. So he gets a negative report. If he knew how to do anything positive within the last few years something positive would have been noted. He isn't worth being the topic of a conversation these days. Some people have to do negative things to receive their 3 minutes of whatever type of fame they can get. I am sure Gary Jones VERY happy his name was even mentioned somewhere.
ReplyDeleteWhy so salty? You sound like a woman scorned! Poor thing.... I will say a prayer for you :) And until you know FACTS about Mr. Gary Jones and who he is as a person, please take SEVERAL seats!
DeleteHis favorite basketball team was the....bullets.
ReplyDeleteWOWWWW THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG WITH PEOPLE TODAY THERE ALWAYS FOCUSED ON THE NEGATIVE THAT'S GOING ON WITH SOMEBODY BUT DO ANYBODY KNOW ABOUT THE POSITIVE THING'S THAT HE HAD GOING ON IN HIS LIFE DAMN AND I'M SURE THAT THIS IS NOT THE FAME THAT GARY JONES WAS LOOKING FOR
ReplyDeleteSooooo......we're suppose to say here are all of the outstanding things and accomplishments that Gary Jones has done....oh yeah and by the way he is a murderer?
ReplyDeleteThat wouldn't make any sense. This is not the time to congratulate Gary Jones.
Ya MF found him guilty before he even been to trial suppose he get found not guilty for that. BS would you still call a murderer.
ReplyDeleteYES HE IS FAT IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACESSSSS!!!!!!!!!! BUT FOR NOW LET IT BE AND GET BACK TO YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFat in all the right places? They like that in the cut.
