Jones told police that he picked up the victim and paid for sexual services on the premise that he was paying for services with a female prostitute. Shortly into their liaison he became aware Pearson was actually a man.

Police said they found the Pearson’s body after receiving a phone call from an eye witness who say they saw a man in a hoodie running from the scene.
