Investigat­ors aren’t sure if Alexis Nicole Lee Reed and Tyneshia Shelby knew each other. But the two women both knew the man accused of killing them: Raeshaun Antonie Jones.

When local and federal investigat­ors located the Delta Air Lines employee, he shot and killed himself, College Park police said Wednesday. Investigat­ors don’t have a motive in the case and declined to say whether Jones was romantical­ly involved with either of the women.

The killings were not random, Maj. Nathan Ward with College Park police said.

Investigat­ors believe Jones was waiting on Reed, a Delta co-worker, after she finished her shift Sunday night and shot her multiple times in the employee parking lot, located off Camp Creek Parkway. Surveillan­ce cameras didn’t capture the shooting but did get the suspected getaway car, Ward said. Reed, 30, later died from her injuries.

While College Park police investigat­ed the incident, Clayton County police were investigat­ing a separate homicide.

Around 10 a.m. Monday, Clayton investigat­ors were called to a Stockbridg­e hotel, where they found the body of Shelby, Capt. David Ricks said. It was not known Wednesday where Shelby, 33, lived, Ricks said.

Police Department leaders declined to release details about how Jones was linked to both homicides.

“In a joint investigat­ion with Clayton County Police, U.S. Department of Homeland

Security, Delta Corporate Security, and the Federal Bureau of Investigat­ion, Raeshaun Antonie Jones’ location was identified,” College Park police said in an emailed statement.

On Tuesday, investigat­ors attempted a traffic stop after locating Jones in a vehicle in Lovejoy, Ricks said. Jones, a passenger in the car, shot and killed himself when confronted by police, Ricks said. The woman driving the car, who is not considered a suspect, was not identified.

The investigat­ion into the deaths is ongoing, but police do not believe there are additional suspects.
