Ibn Jones, 31, of Atlantic City pled guilty today to first-degree attempted murder and second-degree unlawful possession of a handgun by a certain person not to possess weapons.

Mr. Jones was charged in connection to a shooting that took place in Atlantic City on November 9, 2021 wherein one individual was shot one time from behind.

As a result of guilty pleas, Jones faces concurrent sentences of nine years in a New Jersey State prison with a five-year period of parole ineligibility (certain persons) and eight years in a New Jersey State Prison subject to the No Early Release Act(attempted murder).

The No Early Release Act requires that he serve eighty-five percent of the sentence before being eligible for parole.

Upon release from prison, Mr. Jones will be subject to parole supervision for a period of five years.

The Atlantic City Police Department Violent Crimes Unit investigated this case with assistance from the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office, N.J.S.P. Forensics Unit, and the F.B.I. Cellular Analysis Survey Team.

Sentencing is scheduled for January 19, 2023.

Assistant Prosecutor Paige Jedlicka represents the State in the matter.
