Witnesses near the crime scene say they heard shots and then saw a man lying on the ground, bleeding from the head.
“Everybody started running, screaming. I lost a shoe and a finger nail,”
‘Yo, someone got shot, someone got shot.’ I ran to the corner. I heard screeching like tires
Police sources said that a female fellow correction officer was with John Jeff at the time and she was the one who called 911. Sources say it appears Jeff's killing was planned.
Earlier in the night, he and the woman had left the party.
When they were driving back to the party, they were boxed in by three cars and, sources say, a suspect got out of one of the cars and shot Jeff. Sad story.
