Update: Suspect Arrested for Burtonsville Homicides

For Immediate Release: Monday, March 5, 2018































































Detectives from the Montgomery County Police Department - Major Crimes Division have arrested Gregory Terrell Jones, age 24, of Raphael Court in Martinsburg, West Virginia, for the homicides of Ashley Susan Dickinson, age 34, of Mallory Terrace in Alexandria, Virginia, and Joshua Michael Frazier, age 29, of the 16600 block of Space More Circle in Woodbridge, Virginia.  Jones has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

On Thursday, February 15 at approximately 9:56 p.m., a resident walked by a white Audi Q7 parked on Aldora Circle in Burtonsville and noted that the car was running. The resident observed Dickinson and Frazier in the vehicle; both individuals appeared to be dead. The resident called 9-1-1. Fire & Rescue personnel and officers responded to the scene.

Officers located Dickinson deceased in the driver's seat and Frazier deceased in the front passenger seat; both had suffered gunshot wounds.  Their bodies were transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner who ruled both victims’ deaths as homicides by gunshot wounds.

During the investigation, tips received from the public and evidence gathered from forensic testing revealed that cousins, Gregory Jones and Tyshon Jones, age 25, of Sanford Drive in Bunker Hill, West Virginia, were involved in the double homicide of Dickinson and Frazier.  Major Crimes investigators determined that victim, Frazier, had traveled to Aldora Circle to collect money that Gregory Jones owed him from a previous drug (heroin) transaction.

On February 17, Tyshon Jones (also known as Lamar Green) was shot and killed during a shooting at the Coco Loco nightclub in Berkeley County, West Virginia.  Tyshon Jones’ .45 caliber handgun was recovered at the nightclub scene.  During the incident a second suspect fired rounds from a 9mm handgun and fled the scene.  Investigators from Montgomery County, Berkeley County, West Virginia, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) identified the second shooter at the Coco Loco as Gregory Jones.  Forensic analysis of a 9mm shell casing recovered from the West Virginia scene and a 9mm shell casing recovered from the Aldora homicide scene revealed that both rounds of ammunition were fired from the same gun.

Today, Gregory Jones was arrested in Gaithersburg on the strength of a Montgomery County arrest warrant.  Jones is currently being held without bond.

The Montgomery County Police would like to thank all the law enforcement agencies that assisted in bringing this case to a close: the ATF, West Virginia State Police, Eastern Panhandle Drug and Violent Crimes Task Force, Martinsburg Police Department, and the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Department.
