On July 18, 2012, around 11 p.m., Jones was crossing the street near the 2900 block of South California Avenue, on her way to work, when a gray van with white and blue stripes hit her, said authorities.
The van knocked Jones into the opposite lane of traffic, where she was struck a second time by a sheriff's car, reports the Chicago Sun-Times.
The Cook County correctional officer was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital where she later died.
Based on the Chicago Tribune crime scene photo, Jones was struck on the west side of California Avenue, right outside the security wall surrounding the Cook County jail.
According to my knowledge of the area, there are no crosswalks or traffic lights where Jones was killed.
If you witnessed this incident, or you have any information regarding this crime, please contact the police, immediately.
Wrong, there is a crosswalk right there. You can even see it from google satellite view. And there were signs placed around the complex that say to stop for peds in crosswalks.
ReplyDeleteNo not in front of division 10. In front of division 5 yes but not 10.
DeleteRIP Officer Bostic-Jones. I hope they catch the asshole that did this to you.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, 3:11 a.m., according to the Chicago Sun-Times, Jones was hit on the 2900 block of South California Avenue - which is where most of the CTA bus stops are located.
ReplyDeleteI checked Google's satellite view and there are crosswalks near the 2700 and 3000 blocks of South California Ave., but there aren't any crosswalks on the 2900 block.
If Jones took the bus work, she more than likely got off the bus in an area where there aren't any crosswalks.
For the record, I am not blaming the officer for her death. I wasn't there. I have no idea what happened.
ReplyDeleteHowever, if the city failed to put crosswalks or traffic lights in area where pedestrians have to routinely dodge vehicles just to get across the street, I have an issue with that.
I counted three bus stops and zero crosswalks in the area where Officer Jones was allegedly killed. What does that say about the city's attitude toward people who take public transportation?
It says that she and all other people should cross busy streets at designated crosswalks.
DeleteBut Im sure this will be creatively written so as not to reflect any blame on a dead officer.
Those stupid hyphenated names they all have here. It's intentional to hide their true identity. They don't know who they want to be from day to day. Bostic, Jones, Bostic-Smith, Mama-Hootchie-Smith or Kryzenhammer-Jones-Cohen.
ReplyDeleteThey'd call me at work to look up their info for them and run off all of these names when I couldn't locate them in the system. I'd get fed up ---- and hang up. They've got a different name on their drivers license, each credit card, insurance paperwork and lease agreement.
Pick ONE name and stick with it. There oughta be a law.
Don't get me started on how they all have P.O. boxes for addresses because they're all scurred to death of each other too.
What in Gods name does that have to do with a precious life lost so soon?
DeleteYou stupid uneducated prejudiced son of a bitch!! Nikkii is my friend and that's her name you silly asshole!! Get a fucking life!! Your sorry lifeless ass is jealous because she has loving friends and family and you don't!!! Anonymous, may you and your soul rest in hell where you and everyone else that would say any ignorant stuff like deserves to be. Thats your cunt ass problem now...you are a sorry piece of shit!! R.I.P. My Friend, Nikkii BOSTIC-JONES...COBRA Class of 1991!!!! Much Love!!
DeleteI'm sure she uses at least 8 different variations of "Nikkii" too which doesn't even include the real first name listed on her birth certificate of something like Nikolajayneshawnalee.
ReplyDeleteAaaaaand you're an idiot. Unplug your computer please. Who cares how she spells her name. It's her name, not yours.
DeleteBottom line is you need some law and order in this cesspool of "liberalism" called Chicago and this kinda stuff wouldn't happen.
ReplyDeleteI'm sick of hearing about all these kids and babies falling out of the windows too. Some of the apartments in the "better" neighborhoods don't even have screens. I've had to buy my own smoke detectors in each of the 4 apartments I've rented in this city.
They could balance out their budget here in within the next quarter by having some form of city "code" and fine these landlords to the hilt. And to think of that poor woman that was blasted by flames the minute the elevator door opened.
It's truly third-world here and you're on your own.
Please die of aids, closet case.
DeleteUnbelievable that a woman dies from a "hit & run" and there's comments about her hyphenated name!!! FYI.....A professional career woman might choose to hyphenate her last name when she marries BECAUSE she worked several years to build her career with her maiden name instead of dropping it completely. That way her professional name that she has been known by AND her married last name are both represented. Get over it if you don't "like it"....people have a right to have the name they want and there are much bigger problems in this world to worry about. Condolences to her family and loved ones, it doesn't matter what her name was....she was a human being who lost her life at 38. Try being concerned about the hit & run, the lack or position of crosswalks, or her as a person....NOT ABOUT HER NAME!!
ReplyDeleteAccording to a police newsflash, Officer Jones was killed at 2950 North California Avenue. The van that hit her has a license plate that was either lost or stolen, because the plate information doesn't match the description of the vehicle that hit Officer Jones.
ReplyDeleteI took a second look at the area where the incident occurred and there aren't any buses on the east side of the 2900 block of South California Avenue.
That leads me to suspect Jones may have parked her car on California Boulevard.
Once again, according to the satellite/aerial view, there are no crosswalks or traffic lights on the 2900 blocks of South California Avenue or South California Boulevard.
^ I meant to say there aren't BUS STOPS on the east side of the 2900 block of South California Avenue.
ReplyDeleteOfc. Bostic-Jones is/was one of thee nicest people i ever met! May God bless her family that she loved dearly! Let's not get lost in how names appear. Let's hope that the City & County help bring her killer to justice.
ReplyDeletereal simple. child support....who didnt want to pay?
ReplyDeleteor is it that simple to knock off a correctional officer?
May hit and run drivers rot in hell. A person who hits someone with their car/van and takes off makes me sick and pissed off. My husband was on his bike and was hit and the driver took off. Individuals that do this have no soul or conscience.
ReplyDeleteWow unbelievable how many of you posted horrible things about a very sweet person none of you even knew. Have you no compassion for her loved ones who are left with such a horrible loss? I feel for any family member who may read these posts. I knew Nikkii from school our daughters were in the same class. She was a sweet, funny caring woman who will greatly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her husband, daughter and the rest of her family and friends. XOXO
ReplyDeleteThis was a traffic accident. Period.
DeleteNow one truly horrific death/murder is that poor Hispanic man who was fatally punched and knocked out while picking up scrap in an alley.
THAT is tragic. And at the hands of three worthless PoS.
Those people are always walking in the street like they own it, almost daring someone to hit them. They do it to get a big ghetto lottery payout settlement.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I agree the hyphenated name thing is really lame. So is the spelling of her first name.
Those people? Hard working Americans you mean? You might have made the worst post CNR has ever seen. Congrats on being a jackass
DeleteYou and everyone else with negative comments will die soon. R.I.P NIKKI BOSTIC-JONES!! And again I say.....COBRA CLASS OF 1991!! Cobra Love!
DeleteSpanish Cobras?
DeleteRIP Ofr Bostic and may God comfort her family and friends.

Deletewhile I appreciate the information this site provides, I can't recommend it to people due to the lack of moderation (or tolerance) for the commentary. by recommending it, that would imply that I condone it. the site owner shouldn't or he /she does condone it.
ReplyDeleteto disrespect a deceased officer is really beyond contempt.
RIP Officer Jones. Let's hope they catch the bad guy SOON.
Rip Officers Bostic, anyone that would post such negative remarks clearly didnt know Bostic... you are gone to be dearly missed, I know how much you loved your daughter even though you will not physically be here for her she now has her own personal .....ANGEL :) :) continue to keep smiling...
ReplyDeleteHer death is tragic. This scenario, her fake hair, her fake name are all a Chicago stereotype from H.
ReplyDeleteOn the news, her partner, babay dad or whatever (pardon me if I didn't notice they referred to him as her husband) had no bottom teeth. He did not look nor seem distraught - at all. It was also mentioned "the inmates praised her".
This is, once again, Chicago bizarre.
God may have wanted her dead. After all, being hit by TWO vehicles is just weird. It's like God wanted to make sure she was really dead. Maybe he knew she was evil or she would give birth to a demon child? Just sayin'... Many believe the son of Satan will be a black child and that seems about right.
ReplyDeleteYour mother should have swallowed you!!!
DeleteAttention all Cobra, Lawndale & Manley H.S folks, we lost one of ours this week, please pray for Nikkii & her Family::: Silence
ReplyDeleteDonations can be made to "Uncle Nygtrevious"'s liquor store, KFC, and Bojangles.
ReplyDeleteDon't send flowers, she muhfuggen dead, whut she gon do wit' flowers?
Oh lordy, we gotz to get ah groooove on tonight!
You stupid ass worthless BITCH!!!!!
DeleteAre you mutherfuckers serious, a child has lost her mother and this is the shit you post.
ReplyDeleteThe reason a lot of white folk really don't give a shit, is because we didn't know her in real life and didn't want to know her either. Basically, the rotten black apples have finally spoiled the whole damn bunch. Frankly, I don't give a f*ck about black people.
ReplyDeleteIf I see a black person in anything other than a work uniform or a suit and a tie, it's gonna ask me for money or it wants something.
ReplyDeletePeriod.
Gibs muh dat!!!
