"SCORE" LOSER TURNS HIMSELF IN

SCORE loser Travis Jones who allegedly shot a man over the score in a basketball game has turned himself in after more than two years on the lam.
Travis Jones, 21, was keeping score when he got into an argument over the points tally with Carleak Gibbons.
According to NY prosecutors he then left to fetch a gun and fired off six shots, hitting Gibbon's in the stomach, before escaping in a Dodge Charger driven by an accomplice who was soon caught.
While Gibbons recovered, Jones disappeared, hiding out in an undisclosed location all this time. 
But after he appeared Staten Island's most wanted fugitives, Jones' lawyer reached out to negotiate the terms of the surrender, a DA spokesman said.
Jones’ lawyer, Alison Aplin, said her client had no idea he was wanted in connection with the shooting.
She said: “The minute his picture hit the papers he turned himself in like a gentleman."  
Now on a $250,000 bail he is now being held on an attempted murder charge and prosecutors are hoping the score will be finally settled.
