Police say Jones and a friend had left the Motion Night Club around 2:30am and were heading home on the Eastex Freeway southbound. That's when someone in a dark-colored vehicle reportedly started shooting into their vehicle, as well as two others. Jones, who was a passenger in one of the vehicles, was shot and later died at a nearby hospital.
A call came into the Crime Stoppers tip line with information that identified Washington as a suspect in this case. Homicide Investigators were able to arrest Washington on Monday. Authorities say he's admitted to his involvement in the crime.
Jones worked full-time while attending Lone Star College. She wanted to be a nurse.
Two juveniles who are also possible suspects are still at large.
