On the eve of Midtown's contest against the undefeated East Nashville Black Dogs, Mojo security director CO Jones was questioned by Metro police detectives for more than eight hours last night about the shooting of NFFA commissioner William D. Money early yesterday morning.

Jones, who is known for the signature Mexican wrestling mask he wears, supplies the muscle for the Midtown franchise, everything from team security to "enforcement." Money was shot by a man wearing a Mexican wrestling mask.

The AWP has also learned that Lt. Fred Murphy, the lead detective on the case, wants to question Midtown owner Mojo D, as well. Jones and Mojo D are considered persons of interest. Mojo D was unavailable for comment, but attorney L.S. DeHayes, who is representing the team owner, said Mojo D had agreed to appear at police headquarters for questioning immediately following this week's game with the Black Dogs.
