Jones fell to the ground. Phillips, now 35, stood over Jones and allegedly fired several times more.</p> <p>While Jones was being shot in the head and body, his girlfriend got into the driver’s seat and drove away.</p> <p>Phillips shot at the car and struck the windshield, Cooper said. Once the car made it to the end of the block, Jones’ friend got out and called 911.</p> <p>The friend identified Phillips in a photo array.
