"I really can't understand how you shoot someone over a woman! A woman that both of you could have chose to walk away from," said Desonda Hughes, whose son Ricky Fields was shot on Route 837.

According to the criminal complaint, that's when Fields went up to the driver's side window and the woman said, "Shoot him, shoot him," before the driver pulled a gun and fired a single shot.

Jones is charged with aggravated criminal assault and criminal attempted homicide.
