The Montgomery Advertiser reports:
"Montgomery police and fire medics responded to a report of a stabbing at 11:41 a.m. (Sunday) and found veteran and chaplain Davore Jones, better known as "Walking" Jon Da'Voe-Shelby, with a life-threatening wound in the 800 block of South Decatur Street. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Jones, 53, was one of seven candidates vying for the District 3 council seat that was left vacant when longtime Councilman Tracy Larkin died earlier this year."
Jones was a persistent candidate who I interviewed about 2009 for the first time. He was almost always running for offices in Prattville and Montgomery. I last spoke to him when I ran into him near the fountain downtown not long before my retirement.
RIP Jon.
