Boyfriend Charged In Dymond Jones' Murder In Pikesville

PIKESVILLE, MD. (WJZ) — Baltimore County Police detectives have charged Dymond Jones' boyfriend in her shooting death.

Jones was found unresponsive in her bedroom in the 7400 block of Kathydale Road by family members on June 11.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled her death a homicide by gunshot wound.

Johnny Ray Woods III, 20, of the 3900 block of Bareva Road, 21215 gave a statement to police that conflicted with evidence collected at the scene.

"Some of the information the boyfriend gave was inconsistent with the evidence at the scene," Baltimore County Corporal Shawn Vinson said. "So they continued their investigation and eventually got to the point where there was sufficient evidence to charge this man with her homicide."

Woods is charged with second-degree murder and the use of a firearm in the commission of a violent crime.

He's being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center pending a bail review hearing.

WJZ went to Woods' listed address, but his family would not talk.

In Pikesville, no one answered the door where Jones spent her final moments alive. Her neighborhood, however, is still left shaken.

"I just can't believe it I guess," Robert Sapong, of Baltimore County, said. "I still can't believe it, she's a nice girl."

Woods has another court hearing later this month on July 26.
