Jaron Jones, an ficer involved in the photo scandal surrounding the death Elijah McClain, has submitted his resignation according to the Aurora Police Department.
Earlier this week we reported on an unfortunate update in the Elijah McClain murder that involved a photo Aurora police ficers reenacting the carotid hold that ultimately took his life. Now, one those involved has ficially tendered his resignation.
A tweet sent out by the Aurora PD confirmed the news a few days ago, stating that ficer Jaron Jones submitted his papers in response to the heavy outcry from those who want justice for Elijah McClain on all levels. “In response to inquiries by the press, Jaron Jones, hired October 31, 2016, tendered his resignation,” wrote @AuroraPD (seen above), further adding, “Jones was one the employees involved and depicted in the photograph investigation related to #ElijahMcClain. We will continue to update w/developments as we proceed.”
According to Aurora Police Department Interim Police Chief Vanessa Wilson, all three ficers involved in taking the photos were placed on administrative leave with pay while the investigation commences, which will soon be made public and include reports, photographic evidence obtained and ficer’s names before termination is ficially determined.
As always, we continue to pray that Elijah McClain and his family are given the justice they deserve for his senseless and unwarranted death at the hands those Colorado police ficers.
