Punke alleged that “things that he lives with and what many people live with when they live in fear of not being accepted.” She further added that “I’m still in disbelief and sad that things like this still happen.” Punke explained the crime scene, describing that Jones was out with a group of friends to celebrate a gallery opening in downtown New Glasgow. She elucidated that “two men approached Scott and his friend,” and “one of the men distracted Scott’s friend and the other man came up behind Scott and stabbed him in the back twice and then tried to slit his throat.”
