Keisha Jones: Detroit Woman Found Dead in South Florida Bay

Keisha Jones: Detroit Woman Found Dead in South Florida Bay

Keisha Jones, 31, was last seen on a security camera with a man outside a North Miami business on June 26, 2026. Days later, her body was discovered in a South Florida bay.

Keisha Jones, 31, was a woman described by those who loved her as full of life, with a heart that touched everyone around her. Originally from Michigan, she was deeply cherished by her family, who remember her as their "everything"—a daughter, sister, and loved one whose absence has left an irreplaceable void.

Her mother, Ramona Jones, shared through tears at a vigil: "Keisha was my heart; she was my everything. I’m gonna miss her so bad." Her sister, Danni, expressed the family's lingering pain and unanswered questions: "I don’t know if my sister suffered. I don’t know if my sister was scared. I don’t know her last moments." Her father, Richard Furlow, spoke of holding onto hope for answers and justice: "We’re waiting 'cause we are going to get those answers... Knowing that answers are coming and justice is coming."

Family and friends gathered in Dania Beach for a candlelight vigil, filling the air with prayers and remembrances to honor Keisha's spirit. They described a woman who brought light and energy to those around her, now mourned in the wake of her tragic death.

Keisha was last seen in the early morning hours of June 26, 2026 at Dean’s Gold in North Miami Beach. She was reported missing shortly after, and her body was later discovered in Biscayne Bay near Virginia Key. The FBI has taken over the investigation into her death, working alongside local authorities, though few details have been released about the circumstances.

The family plans to hold Keisha’s funeral next week in Michigan, her home state, where she will be laid to rest surrounded by the love of her community.

Keisha Jones leaves behind a family forever changed, who continue to seek clarity and closure while celebrating the life she lived. She will be remembered not only for how she left this world, but for the vibrant soul she was—full of love, missed deeply, and gone far too soon.Rest in peace, Keisha. Your light endures in the hearts of those who knew and loved you.
