On Oct. 6, Edward F. Evans, 70, was sitting on the ledge of Jones' front porch when he fell six feet onto the concrete sidewalk, according to NJ.com, citing court records.

Jones ran inside, screaming "you didn't see anything, you didn't see anything," according to the report.

Evans was flown to a hospital with a fractured skull and brain bleed, the report said.

Jones told police she had been inside cooking when Evans fell, but later admitted to pushing him, the report said.

It's unclear what the relationship between Jones and Evans was.

Evans, a Philadelphia native, worked as a commercial fisherman in Cape May County, according to his obituary.

"Ed was an easygoing fun-loving individual who was always available to help a friend or neighbor," his obituary reads.
