Shouldn't it be changed? While the event is notable, the person is only notable due to the event. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 00:34, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
Pls add the year of occurrence to the article (I'm a newbie -- don't know how) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.106.104.154 ( talk) 22:04, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
I have changed the title to "Death of Aiyana Jones". The change to "Murder of Aiyana Jones" may have been disputed for good reason, but the current one is both neutral and standard (see Death of Ian Tomlinson). Maziotis ( talk) 18:03, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

I got here in response to Christi Paul's facebook comments section. They keep asking about how I feel, and I keep asking was the entry announced. This article doesn't say, and I haven't found it in the news Yet. The notice aspect is gonna be a big deal when this gets to court... Changes I made are, added date to intro per request supra, and added word is. John5Russell3Finley ( talk) 21:01, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
There should be a greater emphasis on the role of Reality TV in the incident, since that may very well have been a contributing factor to the murder. The fact that this was an operation performed under the observation of a Reality TV crew is likely to have encouraged the use of weapons with a more lively impact, such as throwing a grenade into a house, that wouldn't be usually permitted under regular procedures. That such a show could have focus on incidents where lives are at stake surely must be a controversy in itself and quite likely the producers of the show are complicit in the young girl's murder, even if this could not be legally enforced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.10.66.116 ( talk) 12:03, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
I've watched nearly every episode of The First 48, and the only one I can remember that absolutely had shooting was the suspect killing himself. The offices features in The First 48 do not make their decisions to make the show any more interesting. And, as stated in a thread above, until the officer is charged, it is not murder. When you are dealing with a cold blooded murder with a violent past, that requires more force than most arrests, including guns and flash bangs. Every statement you made is purely speculative, and used a seriously flawed logic at that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.237.52 ( talk) 06:10, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
Who is she? She's mentioned without explaining her connections with Aiyana. Jalwikip ( talk) 11:01, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
"A hearing in U.S. District Court, scheduled for June 9...." What year is that? Is that case still open in 2013? Onerock ( talk) 19:15, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
Is it just me, or is there text missing from the Death section? It states that someone fired a flash grenade, and then skips straight to the officer that fired the shot. WHat actually happened to this little girl? Grover ( talk) 08:10, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
Was Aiyana's legal last name "Jones", "Stanley Jones", or "Stanley-Jones"? Different news articles use all three of those names as her last name. 12.30.109.2 ( talk) 17:17, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
Connection to 2007 raid
Officer Joseph Weekley, a 14-year
when? veteran of the Detroit Police Department, is one of several officers targeted in a federal lawsuit alleging that they shot two dogs and pointed a gun at children during a 2007 raid of a Detroit house. A hearing in U.S. District Court, scheduled for June 9, will decide whether the case goes to trial. The lawsuit, which was moved from the Wayne Circuit Court to the U.S. District Court in April 2009, accuses Weekley and other members of the Special Response Team of entering a Detroit house on Feb. 8, 2007, shooting two dogs, and then pointing a gun at an unspecified number of children, including an infant. The officers were looking for Marlon Westbrook, who later was convicted of armed robbery and sentenced to seven to 15 years in prison.

voiceofdetroit.net, a propaganda blog run by Diane Bukowski, is not a newspaper and shouldn't be used as a source here. Diane Bukowski was banned from the court room by the judge in this case on October 2, 2014.

I'm very disturbed (as an experienced WP editor) at the level of non-neutral skew in this article. It's never mentioned that the homes in the duplex were not connected and that the warrant was only for the suspect's address (where he was found) — not the address/side where the family/kids were. It's also not mentioned that when a neighbor walking by attempted to warn them urgently that there were kids in the one side, he was (according to his attorney) forced to lay face-down on the ground with a boot against his back/back of his neck, or that the police gave no sign of believing that the grandmother touched the gun (makes sense, given the couch was a pretty good distance from the door/window) until several hours had passed with her forced to sit on the visibly blood-soaked couch. Two quick sources: PoliceStateUSA and Huffington Post.
I have no connection of any kind to the mess, just very concerned at what looks like a PR agent's work. I'm not going to personally tackle the edits, however: I've had enough of my time wasted by writing things that were later edited/reverted by somebody monitoring the page for changes they disapprove of. Hopefully somebody less jaded will do so. — xyzzy 13:12, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
I wonder what the source of her weight (in the info box) is. The CDC says 70 pounds is the high end of normal for a 7 year old. Her picture makes her appear to be of fairly normal size, but the info box shows and unsourced 130 pounds which would be drastically obese. I wonder if her weight in pounds was 59 - the number that was put in as kg. 69.142.70.108 ( talk) 02:16, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
