Man accused of killing mistress' son in custody

ATLANTA — A DeKalb County car salesman accused of killing his mistress' son is in custody.

Atlanta police say Calvin Sneed, 51, showed up Monday morning at a friend's home in College Park. The friend went straight to the College Park Police Department, where she handed over her keys. APD's fugitive squad was sent to the home and officers say Sneed came out smiling.

Sneed was placed on Atlanta police’s Most Wanted List last week after he allegedly shot and killed Gregory Jones Jr., 30, in the front yard of Jones’ home.

In an exclusive interview with Channel 2’s Nicole Carr, Jones’ mother, who was Sneed’s mistress, said her son approached the couple and confronted Sneed about how he treated her.

“Calvin reached in his pocket and pulled the revolver out and repeatedly stood over my son and shot him,” said Antoinette Williams.

“He said, 'Grandmama, Grandmama.' He said, 'I’m dying.' He said, 'I’m dying. I’ve been shot,'” said Mary Andrews, Jones’ grandmother.

Andrews said her grandson was able to make it back into the house and identify the shooter.

“He said, 'I’ve been shot four times.' He said, 'Calvin just shot me,'” Andrews said. “I said, ‘Don’t say that you’re dying. Say that in the blood of Jesus that you will live.'”

Jones, a father of five, survived for 10 hours. He died at Grady Hospital early on Valentine’s Day morning.

That afternoon, Sneed’s co-workers at Superior Chevrolet in DeKalb County said he came in for a normal work day, but later confessed to killing Jones.

“And (he said) that he was cleaning his office out because he didn’t want police to come looking for him," said Lt. Charles Hampton, an investigator with APD’s homicide unit.

Co-workers told Carr that Sneed, a top salesman, called repeatedly that day from different phone numbers. He was trying to get his last paycheck.
