Jazlene Jones, 14, and her boyfriend Elia Olson were walking down railroad tracks near the city to smoke on Sunday when she told him she wanted to end their relationship. Olson allegedly demanded she turns off her phone and then pointed a white revolver at her head, firing one shot. Jones begged for her life, but Olson told her she “had to die” and fired two or three more shots before fleeing as reported by MSN.
Jones was able to flag down a passing driver for assistance and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. According to investigators, she had three gunshot wounds in her head, one of which entered through her cheekbone. The bullet was lodged in her neck, close to her carotid artery, and she was able to identify Olson as the shooter, according to police.
