An Indoor Football League player working as a security guard at a bar in Acworth, Georgia, was fatally shot Saturday morning after intervening to protect a woman from an alleged assault.
The New York Post noted that 28-year-old Jordan Jones was working security when he saw 25-year-old Daniel Di Vonne Parsons allegedly assaulting a woman. Jones stepped in and ended the alleged assault, only to have Parsons shoot him shortly thereafter in the parking lot.
Police were called and arrived on scene at 2:40 a.m. and found Jones suffering from a gunshot wound. He was rushed to a hospital where he died.
FOX 5 Atlanta reported that Parsons was arrested and “is charged with murder, aggravated assault and aggravated battery.”
CFB Alerts pointed out that Jones “played for both the Tulsa Oilers and San Antonio Gunslingers, and was slated to play for the Michigan Arsenal in Arena Football One this season.”
The owner of the Michigan Arsenal reacted to Jones’ death, saying, “Jordan was a remarkable young man whose talent, drive, and character stood out from the moment we connected with him. We were truly looking forward to welcoming him to our training camp and watching him grow within our organization.”
