Case Number: 2015-02341

Manner of Death: Suicide

Cause of Death: Gunshot Wound to the Head

RIP ANDREW THOMAS JONES (January 15, 1977 – April 3, 2015)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Friday at 2:34 p.m.

The decedent shot himself in front of guests at Universal Studios.

It happened near the new “Despicable Me” ride at around 2:20 p.m.

The shooting occurred after a woman who works at a restaurant called on-site security officers after seeing her ex-boyfriend within the park.

The two have a child together, but he had two restraining orders against him after incidents at the park. One was after he allegedly vandalized her car in the parking lot and another inside the park about a week ago.

A deputy found the man in a secluded designated smoking area, but when she asked him to stand up, he instead pulled out a gun and shot himself.

Because of the isolated area of the shooting, park visitors heard the shot but did not witness it.
