CRIME OF THE WEEK
DICKINSON RESIDENT KILLED IN HIT-AND-RUN
Maurice Jones, 34 years of age, was killed by a hit-and-run driver either very late Saturday night sometime in the early morning hours of Sunday, March 29, 2009 in the 1100 Block of Dickinson Avenue in the City of Dickinson. Maurice was walking home from his job at a nearby McDonald's Restaurant.
It is believed that a vehilcle in the 1100 block of Dickinson Avenue was headed south before veering left, crossing the road and striking Maurice Jones. The vehicle traveled through the ditch and came to rest about 40 feet off the road. Police have some evidence, such as tire tracks and a note found at the scene which is believed to be written by someone in the vehicle. Investigators have said that the handwritten note appears to be full of remorse for the accident.
Jones died less than a mile and a half from home. A League City police officer found Jones’ body in the ditch about 7 a.m. Sunday, March 29th. Accidents can happen to anyone and Galveston Crime Stoppers is hopeful that the driver of the vehicle will come forward and tell investigators what happened the night Maurice Jones died.
Maurice Jones leaves behind an 11 year old daughter.
