A Florida man was arrested after he shot his girlfriend fifteen times because she didn’t reply to his text messages or answer his calls, according to a Florida Police department arrest affidavit.

The 23-year-old, identified as Carlos Lemont Jones, informed authorities that he woke up on December 20 and became very angry when he noticed that his former girlfriend didn’t respond to his texts or calls.

Jones drove to his girlfriend’s house at around 7:30 am in Melbourne, on the east coast of Florida, where she was living with her father.

He knew she would be at work at 8 am so he came early. He pulled into the driveway and confronted his ex-girlfriend, Sha’dayla Johnson, as she walked through the front door on her way to work.

They exchanged a few words before she turned and started walking back to the house, the court affidavit read in part.

Angry she was walking away from him, Jones pulled out a handgun and shot her in the back 15 times, the police said.

Officers at the Melbourne Police Department arrived at the crime scene at around 7:48 am and found the body of Johnson lying on the floor. She couldn’t be resuscitated, the affidavit indicated.

Johnson’s father said he was sitting in the living room when his daughter walked out of the front door to go to work. “After a few minutes, I heard a series of gunshots, and when I peeped through the windows, I saw Jones standing in the driveway,” he told detectives. He added that he walked out and found his daughter lying in a pool of blood.

He also informed detectives that Jones and his daughter had been dating for about five months and had previously lived together, but they broke up two weeks before the horrible incident.

“Jones constantly called my daughter harassing and threatening her in an effort to win her back,” Johnson’s father said.

After committing the heinous act, Jones dumped a box of ammunition and the clothes he was wearing in a dumpsite at his apartment complex. He then proceeded to throw a pistol magazine through the windows of his car as he drove down an interstate before discarding his automatic pistol in a storm drain in Rockledge.

After allegedly receiving a call from his mother pleading with him to surrender, hours later he turned himself in to the police, the affidavit says.

When asked if he felt remorseful about the act, Jones said if he was given another chance, he would do it again. He said he would have killed Johnson’s father too.

According to court reports, Jones is facing one count of use of a firearm while committing a felony, and first-degree premeditated murder. He is locked up at the Brevard County Jail without bond for the homicide charge. He is scheduled for arraignment on January 19, 2023.
