Police are calling the death of a Savannah teenager whose body was found in her bedroom on Monday night suspicious. Sixteen-year-old Altonise Jones was reported missing about 7:10 p.m. by co-workers who said they hadn’t seen her since Saturday, said Eunicia Baker, Savannah-Chatham police spokeswoman. Officers went to the 200 block of West 39th Street, where Jones lived in a home with her elderly grandmother, to inquire about her whereabouts. About an hour later, Baker said, a relative searched the house, found Jones’ body and called police. Forensics officers and detectives were called to the scene.
