Jones turned to Facebook on Tuesday, asking for the public’s help in finding who shot his wife.
He described Linares as his “rock” whenever times were hard, his teammate at work and home, and partner in crime in good times and bad.
Jones also said his wife was a wonderful step-mom to his two children, and she loved them as her own.
“She wanted them to be the best people on the planet, and she tried to always show that to them,” Jones said.
As for the incident, Jones said his wife was an innocent victim, a passenger in the car when he flipped off a driver who put them in danger.

“She always hated when I did that, and I did it anyways,” he said. “Then the driver shot into our car and struck my beautiful wife, who had nothing to do with anything. She was the most special person I’ve ever known, and I can’t understand why it happened. She was my other half and I’ll love her until the day I die.”
Jones, who was quite shaken by the incident on Tuesday, told Fox News Digital it was tough to keep talking about it. Still, he asked for the public’s help from anyone with information to come forward.
