Jsaron Jones | FIRSTHAND: Gun Violence

Jsaron Jones is a 29-year-old whose life was turned upside down when a neighborhood rivalry resulted in a gunshot wound to his leg. Homebound for months, most of his associates abandoned him, but his childhood friend Deron, an outreach worker, assisted Jsaron in his recovery and gave him a transitional job. But a gun charge threatens to put him in prison, and his “love affair” with guns persists.
