2. Jones's former wife was represented by Elizabeth Feldman, the divorce records showed. Feldman practices family law at the law firm Burt, Feldman and Grenier, where she is a partner. Two paralegals were shot to death at the law firm last week. Feldman wasn't in the office at the time of the shooting, 12News reported.
3. Steven Pitt, a forensic psychiatrist in the JonBenet Ramsey case who was shot to death outside his Phoenix office last week, conducted a court-mandated mental health test on Jones during the divorce, the station reported. Witnesses reported hearing a loud argument moments before gunshots rang out Thursday. Pitt died at the scene.
4. Jones had been seeing a therapist at the same location where 72-year-old Marshall Levine was shot to death and found early Saturday.
5. Jones was accused of domestic violence in a case involving his former wife, 12News reported. In that case, which happened prior to the divorce, he was accused of misdemeanor assault, threats and intimidation, and disorderly conduct. He eventually pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.
