Victoria Jones, daughter of Tommy Lee Jones, pictured in mugshot six months before her death
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: A mugshot of Victoria Jones, daughter of Hollywood veteran Tommy Lee Jones, has emerged from just six months before she was found dead in a San Francisco hotel on New Year’s Day.
The 34-year-old actress was discovered unresponsive at the Fairmont San Francisco on January 1 following a series of legal troubles and struggles with substance abuse.
The details behind the June 2025 mugshot
A mugshot released from a June 2025 arrest provides a stark visual of Victoria’s decline, capturing her with messy hair and strained, red eyes while maintaining a stoic expression.
This particular photograph was taken after she was taken into custody for an alleged domestic violence incident involving elder abuse and domestic battery at the Carneros Resort and Spa in Napa, California.
Although she had pleaded not guilty to these charges and was awaiting a court date later this month, the image has become a focal point in the wake of her untimely death.
Authorities point to Victoria Jones' history of substance abuse
The actress had a history of legal troubles which was marked by frequent run-ins with law enforcement, including an arrest in April 2025 for obstructing a peace officer and possession of a narcotic-controlled substance.
It is worth noting that her legal troubles were not a new development, as they date back to 2011, when she was arrested for theft in San Antonio, which was later dismissed.
Local law enforcement officers familiar with her case noted that her struggles were tied to addiction, with one San Francisco cop telling the New York Post that they suspected her death was 'fent***l-related.'
The officer stated, “People get all their drugs with fentanyl now. They [drug dealers] have it on everything they measure with, everything gets laced.”
Victoria Jones was discovered unresponsive at the Fairmont
On the morning of January 1, Victoria was discovered unresponsive on the 14th floor of the Fairmont San Francisco hotel.
The individual who found her initially assumed she had passed out from intoxication and alerted hotel employees, who immediately contacted 911 for medical assistance.
While first responders attempted to perform CPR, she was pronounced dead at the scene after the emergency call was dispatched as a 'code 3 for the overdose, color change.'
Investigators found no drug paraphernalia or signs of foul play in the room, and there were no indications of suicide, leaving authorities to wait for an official report to confirm the exact cause of death.
