Boyfriend Charged In Murder Of Atmore Woman Shot In Her Bedroom

January 3, 2011

Atmore Police are investigating the murder of a 44-year old woman shot to death by her boyfriend.

Cedric Floyd, 28, of Atmore, is accused of shooting Tina Roshell Jones, 43, inside her 5th Avenue residence.  Jones called 911 at 12:46 Sunday morning to report that Floyd was breaking into her home. Two minutes later, Atmore Police officers arrived and found Jones lying in the floor of the home with what appeared to be several gunshot wounds, according to Atmore Police. She was transported to Atmore Community Hospital where she was later pronounced dead.

“Witnesses at the scene said they were asleep, but were waken by Floyd demanding keys to a vehicle.  After several moments, Floyd fled the scene on foot,” said Jason Dean, Atmore Police chief..

“While officers were at the residence, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call from Cedric Jerome Floyd, 28 years of age,  the boyfriend of Jones, stating he wanted to turn himself in.  Deputies responded to Freemanville Drive where Floyd met officers.  Floyd was then taken into custody,” said Dean.

Police said Floyd made forcible entry into the home through a Jones’ bedroom window in the rear of the home.

Floyd is being held without bond on a charge of capital murder in the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton.

    i personally do not think my mom called the police and i wish every1 one would get off of here talking stuff seriously do u no how hard it is to have me and my bro to come on here and read these unnecessary things. my mom had great love for this man they werent even together for two months when this happened they broke up he moved on being a man but wouldnt let my mom go. what happened in the past stays in their past but this right here is the present. she tried to get away from him but he is obviously crazy… we were being threatened all that day and we went to the police stationed that day. my mom was my best friend i refused to let yall sit up here and talk like this…. do u no how hard it is to look find yo mom dead from not natural causes but from being murdered.. i seen my moms body laying there in blood and some of you ppl are cruel and disrespectful…

  12. so not neccessary on January 6th, 2011 2:54 pm

    I’ve known Cedric since he was a young boy in our neighborhood and he was always a problem child that grew into a problem adult. Someone was always there to make excuses for his behavior and bail him out instead of letting him be punished for his actions. Now his deplorable actions have taken the life of someone who had obviously cared for him. It’s so sad to see women go through an abusive relationship(whether mental or physical) and be unfortunately, in this case, murdered. Cedric, like a lot of young men think women are possessions and cannot stand rejection. I think he deserves the full extent of what the law provides in this case-capital punishment. No one has the right to take a life. For the young ladies out there in an abusive relationship-when a man lays his hands on you, call the police, have him locked up and then most of all, let the DA prosecute his sorry behind. I have 4 young daughters and I know if a man ever laid his hands on one of them, there would be one less man on Earth. I also have a son that I preach to never put his hands on a woman. I pray that God will provide strength and comfort to the Jones family, especially her children, during this trying time.

  13. Concerned on January 5th, 2011 11:59 pm

    Let me start by saying to the family my heart goes out to each of you,, Even though i never knew Tina by name i knew her when she walked into where i worked because of her very large smile and that never changed on her,, I know there’s alot of mixed emontions and peices that will never be put bac together, BUT you can’t blame the APD, because our 911 system is in Brewton then it has to get relayed bac to the local area,,The one to blame is the one that went to that home with the intent to hurt someone,,, If Tina had knew in her mind that he would do something so harmful to her don’t you think she would have tried to stop it in advance,,, No-One is gonna sit there and wait on someone to come and kill them,, We as emergancy personal can only do so much,, PLEASE keep this family in your prayers because their journey jus started,,

  14. Disabled and struggling parent on January 5th, 2011 10:17 pm

    I agree, David, your mother in law is an awesome person. My point was only that there were people defending Barton and not a one defending this guy and in my mind, it doesn’t matter if he killed someone or not, the intention was there and he was acting on it. It shouldn’t make a difference in the punishment phase as long as that was the intended outcome. If you intend to do it and are stopped, obviously it will be that much easier to do the next time around.

  15. David Huie Green on January 5th, 2011 5:54 pm

    REGARDING:
    “everybody is downing this guy for actually going through with it. What’s the difference”

    Two main ones: not all that many praised the fellow with the sawed off shotgun and it was associated with mother-in-law jokes which I don’t get since I have such a good one. Most didn’t like what he did either.

    Second one is that an innocent person died here, not some fool just made a fool of himself.

    David for getting along or getting gone
    if at all possible

  16. Yolanda on January 5th, 2011 5:40 pm

    From the Little Family in Detroit,

    Tina you will be missed and always in our hearts. Our hearts and prayers goes out to her family. No one deserves to die this way. Our hearts are bleeding right now. R.I.P. TINA

  17. Gery on January 5th, 2011 5:37 pm

    I wish I would have gotten to know Tina better since we were family. I remember when she first started living/renting my mobile home when she moved from Atlanta(I think it was the ATL). She seemed really happy to be back in Atmore then.
    Nothing surprises me in this world. Cedric should have been locked up and not allowed a long time ago. Like so many guys around here, he was always in trouble. Many people couldn’t understand what she saw in this guy.
    If you saw Cedric’s rap sheet list, you would be puzzled as to why he was out on the streets. Personally, I never had a problem with the guy. I just knew he was always in trouble.
    I heard before Tina was murdered that she had turned her life around. I hope she did find God before her time was up. It’s comforting to know she has escaped this evil world and has peace now.

    Many ppl have relationship issues, but such a shame that a life was taken bc of the inability to work things out. Where is God, in ppls lives.

U WILL BE MISS DEARLY

  20. Family(Erica) on January 4th, 2011 8:42 pm

    I would like to thank you all for the words of encouragement…As you know their are several steps in the grieving process. Mary different feeling can arise, including, SAD, ANGER, GUILT, LONELINESS, SORROW and the list goes on. My family and I are grieving. It take takes patience, work and endurance to work through grief reaction. So please keep in mind that we are grieving. We lost a very special person, she was loved by many. My heart goes out to her Children… They are our focus now….

  21. Cottage Hill Girl on January 4th, 2011 8:17 pm

    Funny, people were defending Troy Barton for busting in on his wife and mother in law with a gun with the intention of killing them, but everybody is downing this guy for actually going through with it. What’s the difference?

  23. neisha on January 4th, 2011 4:34 pm

    well everyone feels different about this situation and we really don’t know how this all got started so you really can’t say it her fault or anything and i understand but why in the hell would they arrest him so many times then let him go.. huh someone tell me that then if he was talking bull in the club then y any body didn’t that know her that claim they heard him say he was gone to call her call the police or something we really don’t know how the relationship was or anything unless you could have been there and i see what everyone talking bout but we have our own thoughts so you shouldn’t tell me I AM WRONG FOR WHAT I AM SPEAKING THAT IS WAT I THINK… BUT I DNT CARE ABOUT THIS I JUST WISH MY CUZIN WAS HERE…

  24. NONE on January 4th, 2011 4:22 pm

    SOUNDS LIKE THIS GUY HAD TROUBLES ANYWAY…HE KNEW BETTER THAN TO EVEN DATE A WOMAN THAT MUCH OLDER THAN HIMSELF…..

  25. AC on January 4th, 2011 2:55 pm

    Serious, you are absolutely correct. The person to blame IS the person who shot the gun. And, no, Tina or any other victim of abuse deserves to die or even deserves to be abused. I hope no one mistook my point in my earlier post. I never meant to place the blame on the victim. My point is that at some point we have to “man-up” and take responsible action. NOBODY DESERVES TO LIVE WITH ABUSE. Nobody should live in fear. And nobody deserves to be murdered. My point is that those, like the police, court system, social services, etc. who are there to help, can only do so much. It is ultimately up to the victim to get themselves out of the messes they got themselves into. They may not have known what they were getting into, but once they realize that they may be in danger, they need to do whatever they can to get away from the danger. It disturbs me that some people constantly blame others for their own misfortunes. But this case should serve as a warning for those who are in abusive relationships, and continue to protect their abusers, and continue to allow themselves to be abused.

  26. Jackie on January 4th, 2011 2:49 pm

    This is a very sad time for both families, Tina was a very sweet beautiful young lady. She didn’t deserve what happened to her, nor her kids deserve losing their mother at a very young age. This young man should have never been released for the previous crime he committed. To her family remain close for her kids and her brother they need positive words of encouragement what happened is in the past and no one can change it. They need love and attention, Tina loved her kids they were her life no matter what she was going through her kids remained first. We all have made mistakes in choosen a mate some of us were very blessed to be able to walk away and still have another chance. We all still have the memories of her beautiful smile, which no matter what she was going through she had. My prayers are with the family that God will give you all the strength to go forward and not let anything get in your way, cause Tina wanted the best for all of you.

  27. david on January 4th, 2011 2:40 pm

    Neshia, shame on you for blaming the police for this crime,this man enter the residence unnoticed by the people who was there themself so how would the police known he was there. according to the news paper report, the police arrived two minutes later, (TWO MINUTES NESHIA) i think that was pretty fast response, taken they had to drive from the other side of town, that’s faster than some redlights turning green. Neshia the police don’t put these people on the stand in court, the judge do, the police don’t sentence these people, the judge do, the police don’t just let people out just because it’ a beautiful day in the neighborhood Neshia, they do it because the judges tell them to, so if their is anyone to blame Neshia, blame the men who wear the silky black robes who makes three times a police salary. Now we both know who is really responsable for this sinceless and ridiculous crime and he’s behind bars where he belong thanks to Atmore Police Department qwick response and if you think the police is so bad then try living without them and see how far the laws of the land will go. GREAT JOB ATMORE P.D.

  28. Jim W on January 4th, 2011 2:37 pm

    After reading the comments here and seeing the family is following what is being said. I would like to say to the family and friends of victim I do not know you and may never but I do know the pain and heart breat it must bring you. May God Bless you and be with you in your time of need. Stand strong she has been received in a happy place.

  29. Serious on January 4th, 2011 2:03 pm

    The person to blame is the person who shot the gun.The police nor Tina is responsible.Majority of the atmore police department are great men and do their job fairly well.They are not responsible for what happens before they arrive.People lets not judge because no one really knows what took place at these people home but them.The only thing we know is that a young man took her life for a selfish-unknown reason.Yes,its true that some have taken up for their abuser and some have taken them back.Does that mean they deserve to die? NO!!!
    Lets pray for her kids.That they recover from this and be able to live remembering the lovely person she once was.The young man that is still alive,pray for him as well.Tina is gone but his life still is a puzzle.

  30. fatherofone on January 4th, 2011 1:39 pm

    completely agree with AC!

  31. John on January 4th, 2011 1:24 pm

    neisha: “I AM GONE TO POINT AT THE POLICE BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN IT ALL EVERYTIME A PERSON I KNOW CALL THE POLICE THEY ALWAYS HAPPEN TO NOT COME RIGHT AWAY WEN YOU ASK THEM TOO. THEY ARRIVE LIKE FIFTEEN MINS LATER WEN U HAVE BEEN CALL.’

    The article: “Jones called 911 at 12:46 Sunday morning to report that Floyd was breaking into her home. Two minutes later, Atmore Police officers arrived…”

    Neisha, you say you are “HERE IN DETROIT”. I don’t know how long the police that you are “GONE TO POINT AT” take to respond in Detroit, but here in Atmore, it obviously only takes a couple of minutes after the first call. You have absolutely no argument.

    I don’t know these people but judging by some of the comments of people who do, apparently this man has been arrested numerous times. how many times did Tina cover for him? If you decide to cuddle with a rattlesnake, sooner or later you are going to get bitten. Whose fault is it when you do?

  32. neisha on January 4th, 2011 11:45 am

    well to the person at the very top i agree with you at some of the things but not if a person steady calling the police and they keep letting him out what the hell u expect it was not her fault that this happen. YOu do not have a right to go around and killing people I AM GONE TO POINT AT THE POLICE BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN IT ALL EVERYTIME A PERSON I KNOW CALL THE POLICE THEY ALWAYS HAPPEN TO NOT COME RIGHT AWAY WEN YOU ASK THEM TOO. THEY ARRIVE LIKE FIFTEEN MINS LATER WEN U HAVE BEEN CALL. SO DONT EVEN GO THERE AND TO MY COUSINS AND MY FAMILY I AM PRAYING FOR ALL OF US DO NOT LISTIN TO THE FALSE OF PPL WHO ARE TALKING NEGATIVE FAMILY WE ARE GONE TO GET THROUGH THIS AND BE THERE FOR EACH OTHER TINA I LOVE YOU CUZ YOU WERE A SWEET HEART EVERYTIME I SEEN YOU HERE IN DETROIT YOU ALWAYS HAD ME LAUGHING AND JUST TAWKIN ABOUT EVERYTHING I JUST CAN’T BELIEVE YOU ARE GONE TO SOON CUZ MAN I DIDNT EVEN GET TO SAY GOOD BYE I LOVE YOU NOTHING.. R.I.P CUZ

    R.I.P Tina.
    with much love, ur little sister Kendra

  34. AC on January 4th, 2011 10:44 am

    I continue to be amazed at the ignorance of some people who actually want to place the blame on the police for this. This man has been ARRESTED numerous times. That is what the police do, they arrest people. Job done! They cannot force victims to testify in court. They cannot convict the offender. And they certainly cannot keep them in prison once they are convicted. And, BLK Barbie, they cannot issue restraining orders. How many murders have been committed in Atmore in the past decade or so that were the product of domestic violence? How many of those domestic homicides began with verbal abuse, then progressed into physical violence, and finally culminated into murder? I can guarantee you that if you would look at the rap sheets of some of these killers, you would see a long history and pattern of arrest, and case dismissal or aquittal because the victim refused to testify, or worse, testified in defense of their eventual murderer. Our society continually ties the hands of our law enforcement and then complains because they are ineffective. If you are the victim of a crime, particularly domestic violence, then it is up to YOU to cooperate with the judicial system (including police), testify in court against the defendant, and STAY AWAY FROM THE PERSON! Staying with an abusive partner NEVER ends good. The abuse will continue and increase as it does so. And, if a person you are interested in dating has a known history of spousal or partner abuse, IT WILL CONTINUE with you as his/her next victim. THEY HAVE NOT OR WILL NOT CHANGE! It is up to you, not the police, not the judicial system, not your family or friends, but YOU to stop the abuse. The police, judicial system, and I’m sure your family and friends are there to help, but they can only help. The choice is yours. But people, even the judicial system, will grow weary of repeatedly rescuing you only to have you return to your abuser time and time again. If you like that lifestyle, living in constant drama, and eliciting sympathy from others because you are the eternal victim, then live in it, but don’t point fingers and blame those who try to save you when you won’t let them.

  35. CANTONMENT GIRL on January 4th, 2011 9:11 am

    Prayers go out to this family. Bless all of your hearts. I hope this guy gets everything he deserves. This is terrible. I agree with Bobby a piece of paper isn’t going to stop anyone that would murder someone.

  36. Rell on January 4th, 2011 7:25 am

    This is all to surreal. Tina was there for me when no one else was. And it hurts me that this happened to her by someone she gave chance after chance. To my niece and nephews I love yall very much and will be here for you always no matter what. And to the rest of my family let’s be strong for them. That’s what my sister would want. R.I.P. Tina I LOVE YOU!

I hope the DA’s of escambia county ,al (Todd) go at him like they do drugs dealers.We know that want happen they are only consider bout sending drug dealers to prison.Never mind a killer and rapist.They get out on bond maybe 15,000 drugdealer 400,000 or even a million. Alabama laws or so twist it like in there eyes its alright to kill,rap,molest .Jus don’t sell drug because we will throw the book at you. It is just sad bring tears to my eyes .Drug task force words can not describe them.Mr.Dean you need to started giving random drug tests.Maybe Ms.Tina would still be here if she had told them she had drugs in her house. Escambia,AL we have to do better stop making it easy for these violent monsters!!!!!!!!! R.I.P. Ms.Tina………….

  40. Shanna C on January 3rd, 2011 8:53 pm

    TINA,

    YOU WILL BE MISSED BY THE MANY HEARTS YOU HAVE TOUCHED
    YOUR SMILE IS LIKE A MOON THAT SHINED THROUGH THE NIGHT
    YOUR HEART IS BIG AS THE SUN AND FULL OF LIGHT
    YOUR LOVE FOR YOUR CHILDREN WAS NEVER TOO MUCH
    YOUR SOUL WILL BE CARRIED AWAY TO A LIFE OF ETERNAL LOVE
    YOUR BODY WILL NO LONGER FEEL THE PAIN OF HURT AND LONELINESS
    BECAUSE YOU ARE TINA ROSHELL JONES THE BLACK DOVE
    WHO WILL FLY INTO ARMS OF HE WHO LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONLY
    ***************RIP TINA R. JONES**************

  41. Bobby on January 3rd, 2011 8:33 pm

    BLK Barbie, restraining orders are civil and police can not act on them. I think you are referring to a protection order and a judge has to sign and approve a protection order. As I am sure you know, judges don’t work on the weekends. Police can’t issue an orders like this. And to think that a piece of paper would stop this monster from killing her is pretty silly.

  42. joy on January 3rd, 2011 8:29 pm

    To The children of Tina Jones
    sorry for your lost no one will ever know what you children are going through unless they have lost their mother sudddenly. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. Be there for one another, but most of all love one another just as Christ loves you. And prayer will take you through. If you have never reached out to God now is the time to do so. I know you feel like you cant go on without your mother but with the help of God you can. Take one day at a time and remember to pray.

    Very Concerned

  43. j&n on January 3rd, 2011 8:05 pm

    Our deepest sympathy to the jones’ family

  44. BLK Barbie on January 3rd, 2011 7:21 pm

    Wow, I hope that some officer In Atmore is Really sorry for telling Tina that she would have to Wait until Monday To Get a restraining order…..I think that the law Stating that you can not sign a Restraining Order until Sunday Should Be changed Immediately.Maybe if this had been changed this may have ended differently…….RIP TINA

  45. vh on January 3rd, 2011 6:44 pm

    in order for judges and police to take domestic violence seriously, the abused, be it man or woman, need to PRESS CHARGES and DO NOT DROP THEM, each and every time. i totally agree that some judges are wayyy to lenient. But victims of domestic violence time and time again, refuse to press charges, drop the charges and/or continue to have contact and relationships with the offender. The abused call the police repeatedly, then refuse to press charges and the next day or week, the police find the two back together again!! If someone is abusive, press charges, remove ALL contact with the offender including blocking or changing cell numbers etc.. but there are times that somone can take all these steps and a nutjob will still go off the deep end. I by no means blame the victim for the abusers actions but far too often the case is that the victims do not take all the steps necessary and available to them to at least help put a stop to the nonsense. Very sad for families.

  46. david on January 3rd, 2011 6:29 pm

    This situation is so sad but now the public can see that it’s not the police fault the reason why these crininals keep walking the streets this man was sent to prison for raping a child four years ago and giving a twenty years sentence where he served a one and half year sentence and was back out on the streets harming innocent people. After hearing this incident, i was sicken to the core and angry,but these are the people who gets the slap on the wrist and back on the streets before the ink dries on their paperwork. The police officers are doing their job by bringing the bad people to justice now judges do your job and put these continuous problem makers behind bars!!!! hint ,hint>>THIS MAN IS VIOLENT!!!

  49. Jim W on January 3rd, 2011 3:09 pm

    2 more lives wasted one dead and one who should be after comitting murder. When and where does it ever stop. Just seems drugs and alcohol have taken over some of the poeple in our society and they have no standards or values what so ever. They just seem to approach things as if everyone one else is a piece of trash to be destroyed and thrown away.
    There is nothing funny about taking life or domestic violence. The lawmakers have to wake up and realize that if they do the right thing in the first place in a DV situation then it does not esculate to this. It is a sad state of affairs. How many people getting killed does it take before the politicians and lawmakers step up and do the right thing for society. That is very simple to do if you will just apply the laws that are already on the books.
    I feel for this lady’s family and friends as they will be effected the rest of their lives. I feel for his family as they to will be effected for the rest of their lives. And, all of this from a moment of rage. So sad. May she RIP.

    This is so sad. And I agree somewhat with the comment of the judges being push overs. That is unless they are convicted of a drug charge. I have been saying it for years that in Escambia, AL a person is allowed to rape, kill, beat and molest children and get a slap on the wrist. But if you smoke a joint or even ride in a car with someone not knowing they have drugs they throw the book at you. I am not making light of the drug problem in or county but how about filling or prisons with violent offenders instead of non-violent.

    I agree oldmarine!!! They need a domestic violence prevention class for abused women. RiP. I hope he gets the death penalty!!!!

    Its because the judges in Escambia, AL are weak little push overs. The don’t punish anybody. Judge Rice is a nice man and that is his biggest down fall. It has been preventing him from doing his job.

    Susan,

    I agree
    When are they going to take violence against women here seriously?
    Guess it’s up to you girls to take care of yourself.

    Buy a gun and learn how to use it!!!!!!

    This man has been in and out of trouble. Ran over an innocent child, a sex offender, and repeatedly jailed for beating women, yet he still maintained a residence of freedom… Who is really to blame in this situation? Of course him solely, but he was assisted in being ABLE to do this…
