Friend remembers beloved realtor who was shot to death by roommate in N. Harris County, docs show

Tragedy strikes the Houston real estate community as Kelvin Jones, a dedicated and compassionate realtor, was found shot to death in his garage home on Thornwilde Park Lane. According to investigators, Jones' roommate, Jonah McQueen, 27, is suspected of carrying out the heinous act after an argument at their residence.

Those close to Jones, including mortgage lender Jahara Benefield, described him as a beloved friend who went above and beyond for his clients. Benefield revealed that Jones was more than just a realtor; he was a key player in helping people achieve their dreams through various programs, including Section 8 and down payment assistance.

Jones' reputation as a kind-hearted individual was evident to Benefield, who recalled the last conversation they shared earlier in the week while working together to help a client. "I told him we can do it in the morning, and the morning never came," Benefield said, still reeling from the devastating news.

Benefield's own experience with Jones' support during his sister's passing highlighted the realtor's unwavering dedication to those around him. He expressed his hope to provide comfort to Jones' family as they navigate this difficult time.

As McQueen stands accused of murder, the community is left grappling with the senseless loss of a man who touched so many lives through his work and compassion. The investigation continues, but for now, memories of Kelvin Jones' selflessness and kindness will remain etched in the hearts of those he helped and supported over the years.
 
Man πŸ˜” this is just heartbreaking... I'm thinking about all the ppl who knew Kelvin and how much they loved him... it's crazy that someone can go from being a helping hand to something so dark. πŸ€• I've got a lot of respect for people like Jahara Benefield, he's showing us what kindness and compassion truly mean πŸ’•. It's gonna be tough for the community to move forward without Kelvin's presence, but we'll get through this together πŸ‘«πŸ’ͺ
 
πŸ˜” This is just devastating news... I keep thinking about all the people Kelvin would've been able to help if this had never happened πŸ€•. It's not about pointing fingers at Jonah, but more about how we can make sure his legacy lives on πŸ’‘. Maybe we can look into ways to support families who are going through similar struggles after losing a loved one like Jahara did πŸ’—. The Houston community has lost a kind soul, and it's going to take some time for this pain to heal πŸ•°οΈ.
 
My heart goes out to Kelvin's family πŸ€•πŸ˜’ this is just devastating news. Can't even imagine how they must be feeling right now. The thought of him being killed, someone who was so caring and compassionate towards others... it's just cruel. I'm sending all my love and thoughts to them during this darkest time πŸ™πŸ’– Kelvin's legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched, but that doesn't make it any easier for those left behind πŸ’”
 
omg i cant believe this is happenin to kelvin jones he was literally the nicest person ever i had my mom help me get a place through section 8 cuz i was strugglin financially and kelvin was always there to lend a listenin ear n stuff and then jahara said he was like a mentor or somethin idk what else but it just sucks cuz kelvin wasnt even 40 yet
 
πŸ€• this is such a sad thing it just breaks my heart that kelvin went out like that 😒 i mean we all know how awesome kelvin was as a realtor & person everyone who knew him is talking about what an amazing dude he was πŸ’– jahara's words are so true he was more than just a job to him, he genuinely cared about ppl & his community 🌟 my heart goes out to his family too 🀝 i hope the investigation is super thorough so justice can be served for kelvin's memory πŸ’―
 
πŸ€• this is all so messed up... people always talk about how easy it is to make a difference in someone's life with a little bit of kindness and compassion, but where was that when Kelvin needed someone to help him out? I mean, we hear about the good he did for others, but what about the struggles he faced himself? Did anyone reach out to offer a helping hand? πŸ€”

And now this? Someone's gone to jail because they snapped under the pressure of an argument? It's like, take a step back and think about the bigger picture here. We're more focused on blaming the perpetrator than understanding what led up to it. What if Kelvin had just one good day where everything went wrong? Would that have changed everything? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
 
πŸ€• my heart goes out to Kelvin's family & friends, can't believe someone as lovely as him is gone πŸ’”. I mean, from what I've heard, he was literally changing lives with his work on Section 8 & down payment assistance 🌟. Anyone who knew him must be feeling so lost right now πŸ˜”. And that roommate of his, Jonah... I don't know what happened between them, but it's just so sad πŸ€•. Can we all just take a deep breath and remember Kelvin's kindness & generosity? πŸ™
 
πŸ˜” this is such a heartbreaking story... it's just not fair that kelvin was taken from us so suddenly. i mean, who gets killed in their own garage? 🀯 the fact that jonah suspected of doing it is still hard to believe... i keep thinking there must be more to the story. πŸ’” kelvin sounds like an amazing person, always looking out for others and making a difference in his clients' lives. it's just devastating to think that he won't be around to help them anymore. πŸ€• and can you imagine how much pain jaahara is going through right now? i hope she finds the strength to keep fighting for justice, but also take care of herself during this dark time πŸ˜“
 
This is just horrific 🀯 - can't believe it's a guy who was supposed to be helping people find their homes at the end of the day turns out to be capable of such evil 😩. Jones' story was all about spreading love and kindness, not perpetuating harm πŸ’”. McQueen's actions are a total betrayal of everything we thought he stood for πŸ‘Š. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this... it's like a nightmare that won't wake up πŸ€―πŸ˜“.
 
omg this is such a tragedy!!! 🀯 my heart goes out to kelvin's family & friends he sounded like an amazing person who actually cared about ppl πŸ’• i mean can u imagine if ur roommate or neighbor was doing this to u? it's just horrific. i'm so glad there are ppl like jahara who knew him & are talking about how awesome he was. anyway, i hope they catch jonah soon & bring him to justice but meanwhile let's all take a sec to remember kelvin's kindness ❀️
 
Omg what's going on 🀯 this is like super sad news... i was just talking to my friend about buying a house and she needed some help finding a good lender but now i'm thinking about all these things Jones did for his clients πŸ˜” i wish i had known him or something he sounds like such a nice guy... i feel bad for his family and the community πŸ€• is this a common thing to happen in real estate communities? πŸ€”
 
πŸ˜” this is just devastating... I keep thinking about all the people Kelvin Jones helped, like Jahara Benefield's sister, and how much of a difference one person can make πŸ€— his compassion and kindness will live on through the memories of those he touched. It's crazy to think that someone as selfless as him could be taken from us in such a senseless way 😒 I hope McQueen gets the support he needs during this investigation, but my heart is really with Kelvin's family πŸ’•
 
😱 this is such a shockin news about kelvin jones... i mean what's goin on with jonah mcqueen? seems like he was already strugglin with somethin, but murderin his own roommate over an arguement just shows how messed up things can get πŸ€•. my heart goes out to jahara & all the other ppl kelvin helped thru section 8 & down payment assistance... he wasn't just a realtor, he was a people person πŸ™
 
ugh this is such a tragedy πŸ˜”πŸ’” i mean kelvin jones was always so full of life and energy, it's crazy to think that's just gone now. but at the same time, let's not forget all the good work he did in the community... like, his roommate jonah mcqueen might be accused of murder, but what about the countless people kelvin helped through section 8 and down payment assistance? that's some serious selflessness right there πŸ€πŸ’•. i'm sure we'll learn more about the situation as it unfolds, but for now, let's just take a minute to remember kelvin's kind heart ❀️.
 
πŸ€• can't even believe this is happening... another talented person lost to senseless violence 🚫. it's always the quiet ones, you know? all that kindness and compassion behind a desk, meanwhile someone like McQueen gets away with murder πŸ’”. i mean, what were we supposed to do when Jonah got mad? call the police? lol no. our lives are just so precious now 😩. anyway, i'm sure Jones' family is doing great... NOT πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ.
 
man this is just so sad πŸ€• can't believe kelvin went out like that. it's crazy how one person can make such a difference in people's lives and then they're just taken away πŸ’” i remember hearing about this guy who was helping these families get into their first homes and now he's the one who needs help...it's just heartbreaking 😒 hope jonah gets justice but more importantly, hope kelvin's family finds peace πŸ™
 
This is such a tragic reminder that we're all one bad day away from being victims of senseless violence πŸ€•. It's heartbreaking to think about Kelvin's life cut short, leaving behind a legacy of kindness & compassion ❀️. I'm so grateful for people like Jahara Benefield who are stepping up to share their stories & offer support to Jones' loved ones - that takes immense courage πŸ’ͺ. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this tragedy πŸ™. Can we use this as an opportunity to come together & celebrate Kelvin's life, rather than just mourning his passing? I know it sounds cheesy, but maybe there's a silver lining here too 🌞
 
πŸ€” this is just getting out of hand... can we get some proof that McQueen was even arguing with Jones? it's always easy to point fingers when someone gets killed, but have we considered other possibilities? what about a potential robbery or a domestic dispute gone wrong? πŸš” i need to see more than just 'he said she said' before I start accepting McQueen as the prime suspect. also, how much did McQueen stand to gain from his roommate's death? was there any financial motive at play here? πŸ’Έ
 
😱 this is just heartbreaking my heart goes out to kelvin's family & friends they're gonna miss a huge presence in their lives what was going on with jonah that led to this? πŸ€” i'm all for giving him benefit of doubt but not before hearing his side of the story πŸ—£οΈ anyway, kelvin's legacy is what's left behind - a man who genuinely cared about others & made a difference in so many people's lives πŸ’•
