CINCINNATI — A 34-year-old man was arrested in Detroit by the U.S. Marshals Service for a Mount Auburn murder, Cincinnati police said.
Jarel Jones was arrested on an open murder warrant for the shooting death of 22-year-old Joslynn Brown.
On Feb. 15, officers responded to an apartment building at the intersection of Malvern and Eleanor shortly before 10 p.m. for reports of a woman found shot in the hallway. There, they found Brown dead just a few days before her birthday.
It is unclear if she lived in the building. However, a resident who lives on the floor said her husband heard fighting before Brown was shot.
Tyrone Terrell, who has lived in the building for seven years, said he was shocked by the news.
"Nothing like this happens here," he said. "I hear it happen everywhere else, but it never happens here that somebody gets shot like that."
Charles Johnson said he agrees. He has called the area home for nearly 59 years.
"That just don't happen up here ... I've been here all my life," Johnson said.
The company that manages the building said they're working with police. They said the health, safety and well-being of their residents is their top priority.
Police said the investigation into Brown's death is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to called the Homicide Unit at 513-352-3542.
