The Kalamazoo County prosecutor told FOX 17 Friday that Jones received the mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole after he was convicted of first-degree murder.
Jones broke into Christopher Neal’s home in December of 2019.
Police say Jones shot and killed Neal before firing at three officers.
Jones had been released from jail just five days before the home invasion.
