ANDERSON — Anderson police have requested the public's help finding a man wanted in connection with a homicide earlier this month.

Detectives on Friday obtained warrants for the arrest of David L. Jones Jr., 54, who officials say fatally shot Tyreke Love, 23.

Sometime later, police took three people into custody from the 2900 block of Sheridan Street after obtaining a search warrant for a vehicle and residence there.

Formal charges of murder and unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon were filed against Jones on Friday.

Anderson police asked that anyone with information on Jones' whereabouts to call Lt. Steve Denny at 765-648-6759. Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477.
