De’Aliz’e Jones, Gun Crime After Domestic Violence, Missouri 2023

A St. Louis man has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm after a domestic violence incident. De’Aliz’e Jones, 25, pleaded guilty in May to the charge.

According to court documents, Jones argued with his girlfriend at an apartment in the 3600 block of Shaw Boulevard in St. Louis on Dec. 30, 2020, resulting in a call to police. Jones said he’d been kicked out of his apartment.

Officers found Jones’ girlfriend with a cut lip, a bloody nose and a large bruise on her forehead. They also noticed that Jones had a Glock 17 9mm semi-automatic pistol with a large capacity magazine on his ankle, and arrested him for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Jones has two prior robbery convictions and a conviction on a 2018 domestic violence charge and was on probation at the time of the incident.

The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Zachary Bluestone prosecuted the case.

Jones was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Catherine D. Perry to five years in federal prison.

The investigation and prosecution of this case highlights the commitment of law enforcement and federal prosecutors to holding individuals accountable for their actions, particularly those who engage in violent behavior and possess firearms illegally.

This case also serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing domestic violence and the need for support services for victims of domestic abuse.
