On November 22, 1969 a heist of the Holiday Inn in Easton, Maryland was planned. What the people doing the heist didn't know is that someone left a tip with the police that it was going to happen. Two police officers were waiting in the office of the hotel for the heist to start. The unidentified man turned and pointed his gun towards police officer Myers. Myers shot the man causing his death.

It was this man and four other people involved with the robbery. Joseph Queen age 24 of Philadelphia, Howard D. Queen age 32 of Philadelphia and Royal Oak, Charles H. Denshields age 24 of Easton; and Charles R. West age 23 of Washington D.C.

A couple of newspapers claimed that he had been Identified as 24 year old Donald Jones of Washington D.C. It is unknown to me if it was a false identification and or if the Newspapers got it wrong at the time or if he was not officially identified as Donald Jones. His NamUs does not mention this.

He was a 20 to 29 year African American male. He was around 5'7 and 155 lbs. Eye and hair color are not listed, but it could be possible his hair was black or dark brown. He was sporting a goatee and a thin mustache. He was circumcised and has a blood type B. He was wearing a pair red shorts, a undershirt, a pair green short pants, a pair blue checked pants, a blue sweater, a black vest, a pair brown ladies gloves, and brown shoes.
But he is listed on Namus with DNA available, but not submitted. He doesn't have Dentals and fingerprints available.

I did a little editing of his PM picture.

Surely the simplest thing would have been to ask the others involved what his name was. Did they refuse to name him?

Circumstances of RecoveryThe subject was shot by police as he and four other men attempted to rob the Holiday Inn in Easton, Maryland. The four other suspects, according to the information from The Sun newspaper were: Joseph Queen (24) of Philadelphia; Howard D. Queen (32) of Philadelphia and Royal Oak (Talbot County, Maryland); Charles H. Denshields (24) of Easton; and Charles R. West (23) of Washington (likely refers to Washington, D.C.). Ages of the other suspects refer to their ages at the time of the attempted robbery on 11/22/1969.

I find it odd the remaining robbers wouldn't be able to provide his name?
