Man Found Guilty In Retrial For Montgomery Co. Double Murder: Report

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD — A man has once again been found guilty in the 2018 "execution-style" killings of two people in Montgomery County, according to a report citing prosecutors.

Gregory Jones, 32, was convicted Friday by a jury in the deaths of Ashley Dickinson and Joshua Frazier, who were found shot to death in a car on Feb. 15, 2018, in Burtonsville, WTOP reported.

Jones was initially found guilty in 2021 and sentenced to two life terms in prison without parole, but the conviction was later overturned on appeal.

Jones again faces two potential life sentences in prison without parole plus an additional 40 years, according to WTOP.

Jones was accused of killing Dickinson, 34, of Alexandria, Virginia, and Joshua Michael Frazier, 29, of Woodbridge, Virginia, in a heroin transaction gone bad.

Police said the pair was found shot to death in a car in a parking lot in the 14100 block of Aldora Circle. Dickinson was found in the driver's seat, while Frazier was in the front passenger seat, police said.

Police said a passerby found the victims in a white Audi SUV with the engine running.

Charging documents obtained by WTOP said Frazier was planning to meet someone to collect $900 that was owed to him.

Two days after the Burtonsville murders, Jones's cousin, Tyshon Jones, was shot and killed in a shooting at the Coco Loco nightclub in Berkeley County, West Virginia. Police said Tyshon's .45 caliber handgun was recovered at the scene of the club.

A second suspect also fired a gun at the club and fled the scene. Investigators later identified the second shooter as Jones. Forensic analysis of a 9mm shell casing recovered from the nightclub scene and a 9mm shell casing recovered from the Burtonsville murders revealed that both rounds of ammunition were fired from the same gun, police said.

Montgomery County police arrested Jones in the killing of Frazier and Dickinson the following month.
