Mother seeks parole again for Ped Mall killer
Sharona Jones, mother of Kaleek Jones, urged the Iowa Board of Parole to deny release for Lamar Wilson, the man who fatally shot her son in 2017 and wounded two others on Iowa Citys Ped Mall. She questioned five years as enough and asked whether residents would feel safe next door. The panel granted work release with supervision, shifting him to a halfway house and delaying discharge until July 23, 2028, while mandating rehabilitation, limited internet, and bar restrictions.
