On September 7, 2015, police found 35-year-old Gregory Jordan suffering from gunshot wounds in the 1400 block of Shawmut Place in the Hamilton Heights neighborhood of St. Louis. Jordan, a Jennings resident, was pronounced dead. Authorities say the shooting stemmed from a dispute over money and a drug debt, and a homicide investigation followed that crossed state lines.

Investigators identified Benjamin A. Chatman as the primary suspect. Chatman allegedly fled Missouri for New York and was later located and taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service before being returned to St. Louis. He initially denied involvement, saying he had moved to Buffalo before the killing.

Chatman was convicted at a 2017 trial of first-degree murder and armed criminal action and given life without parole. That conviction was vacated in 2022 on ineffective-assistance grounds, and a new trial was granted. In December 2023 he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, the armed criminal action charge was dismissed, and he was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Did anyone in the Hamilton Heights or Jennings communities know Gregory Jordan or have information about conflicts he was involved in before September 7, 2015?
