Tragedy Strikes Wellington, Florida: Beloved Couple Taylor Jones and Tara Jones Killed in Senseless Dispute Over Basketball Hoop
Wellington, Florida, is reeling in shock after the tragic loss of a beloved couple, Taylor Glenn Jones and Tara Marie Jones, who were brutally murdered over a dispute about a basketball hoop. The couple, known for their love, kindness, and dedication to their family, left behind four children, aged between five and thirteen, who are now facing an uncertain future without their loving parents.
The senseless act of violence occurred on Saturday evening in the 10500 block of Galleria Street in the Black Diamond residential subdivision. According to eyewitnesses and official reports, the couple was shot by their neighbor, Norman Scott, 63, who claimed he was attacked by the couple during an argument over a basketball hoop and property lines.
Surveillance footage revealed that Scott, who had eight external cameras installed at his home, had been arguing with Taylor Jones over the basketball hoop. The footage showed Scott pointing at Taylor Jones and requesting him to come talk, to which Taylor Jones responded in a non-threatening manner. However, Scott became enraged and pulled out a revolver, firing multiple shots at Taylor Jones, who tried to back away with his hands raised. Scott continued to shoot at Taylor Jones even as he lay on the ground, and then turned his attention to Tara Jones, who was standing on the sidewalk. Scott shot Tara Jones multiple times, and then walked back to his home, leaving the couple to die in their front yard.
The police investigation revealed that Scott had contacted 911 to report the shooting, claiming he was attacked by the couple. However, eyewitness accounts and surveillance footage told a different story. Scott was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder with a firearm. He is currently being held in Palm Beach County’s main jail without bond.
