Ohio Father Sought for Murder of Missing Daughter Found Dead

The tragic case of 13-year-old Keimani Latigue, reported missing on March 18, ended with her father, Darnell Jones, facing murder charges after her body was discovered in a vacant home on March 24. Initially reported as abducted, Jones was the last person seen with her and provided inconsistent statements to investigators, prompting authorities to issue an abduction warrant. Following the discovery of Latigue's body, which had multiple incised wounds, a murder warrant was subsequently issued for Jones. On March 28, during a manhunt in Columbus, SWAT officers confronted Jones, resulting in a confrontation where he was shot and taken into custody. Authorities have described the case as one of the most horrific they have encountered, with police confirming Jones also faces charges of assault. The community has been deeply affected by this tragedy, with local leaders expressing their sorrow over the incident.
