For Kim Jones, life was about caring for others. The mother spent the last several years working at an organization that helps abused and neglected children. But with the pull of a trigger yesterday morning - a single bullet fired into the dedicated child-advocacy worker's head as she went off to work - that was all gone.
Police said Jones, 56, left her North Philadelphia home about 9 a.m. and walked less than a block to a bus stop at 12th and Jefferson streets, just as she had each day for several years on her way to her job at Center City-based Turning Points for Children...
Yesterday morning, police said, a cold-blooded killer was watching Jones. Homicide Capt. James Clark said it was someone who studied the woman's routine, and was lying in wait until about 9:15 a.m. when Jones was ambushed as she stood in the winter chill at the corner. She was killed instantly by a single gunshot to the back of her head. Jones' phone, headphones, purse and jewelry were intact when police arrived minutes later...

Her boss says Kim Jones' job at the agency was not the kind of job where she may encounter disgruntled or unhappy people...
Authorities are going through surveillance cameras to see if they captured images of a black heavy-set man wearing dark clothing carrying a black duffel who was seen fleeing the scene.
Investigators say Jones has been divorced from her ex-husband for over 25 years and recently remarried just before Christmas.
