In October, prior to the arrests, Dukes previously told Local 10 News that Jones' daughter cries out for her mother and hopes the police catch the "bad guy" who gunned down her mother.

“Every day she talks about the bad guy: What she wants done to the bad guy, why the bad guy won’t let the police get him, why the bad guy did that to my mommy,” Dukes said.

Jones' mother continued, adding that her grieving process, at that point, had been "the worst six months I have ever had to endure in my years of living."

Dukes, who's been caring for her granddaughter, said the toddler has taken to kissing the angel pendant on Dukes' necklace.

“This little thing on my neck, every chance she gets, ‘Nana let me kiss my mama,’” Dukes said.
