Jordan was one of four men accused in the shooting near 7th and Keefe, which happened the morning of Nov. 1, 2022. Police used surveillance to identify all four men.
According to a criminal complaint, a witness told police he was with the 17-year-old boy who was killed in the shooting, and words were exchanged between them and some guys at the gas station. He said as they got back into his car, the group of men from the gas station immediately started to shoot at them – striking the 17-year-old.
