“Mr. Jones had been in Tampa to celebrate his birthday over the weekend,” Fusco stated. “According to law enforcement investigations, he initially stayed at an Airbnb but was ordered to leave after violating occupancy limitations. He later moved to the Holiday Inn, where he was allegedly accosted in the hotel parking lot.
