Twenty-one-year-old Marquita Jones was trying to get 911 police emergency when she was shot and killed on Nov. 28 during a domestic dispute. Her assailant, Jordan Fields, 20, fired the fatal gunshots from his car into hers before he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the end of what Savannah-Chatham police called a romantic relationship. Less than a week after that shooting at Edgewater Road and Montgomery Crossroad, a domestic shooting on Savannah’s eastside left two dead and locked down the Savannah High School neighborhood. Johnee’ Williams, 19, was shot to death during a dispute with her ex-boyfriend, Malique Francis, 20, in a nearby parking lot. Francis was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at a nearby home after hostage negotiators tried to get him to leave the house. They were among 13 domestic homicides here last year, up from four the year before.
