A San Marcos man was convicted of murder in a slaying that took place at Uptown Square apartments in 2019.
An-Drew Stephen Jones, 26, was found guilty in a Hays County District Court of murdering Nicholas Devone White, 22, of Manvel. After Jones was found guilty on Thursday, he took the stand during Friday’s sentencing hearing where he admitted to shooting and killing White, claiming the murder was over money that was owed for drugs White purchased from Jones.
“This was a senseless act that took the life of a young man who had everything to look forward to,” said Hays County District Attorney Wes Mau, who led the prosecution with assistance from Assistant Criminal District Attorney Anthony Mendoza. “Nothing we can do will balance the scales in a case like this, but I hope Nick’s family can move forward knowing that, in the end, justice was done for Nick.”
