In the early morning hours of July 9, 2014, a domestic dispute in a north St. Louis apartment building ended in two fatal shootings. Around 12:50 a.m., 25-year-old Jessica Thompson was assaulted in her apartment on the 5800 block of Cabanne Avenue when her boyfriend, Adrian Houston, forced his way inside and began to physically attack her. A 32-year-old resident and groundskeeper, Tony Jordan Jr., heard the struggle and intervened to protect Thompson.

After Houston briefly left, Thompson called 911, but responding officers were sent to the wrong address about a block away because of a dispatcher error. While police searched for the non-existent location, Houston returned, shot and killed Jordan in the courtyard, then went to Thompson’s apartment and shot her. Officers arrived at the correct address after both victims had been killed. Houston was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. The dispatcher was suspended with pay and both families later sued the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.

Does anyone have information about Thompson’s life in the neighborhood or knew her or Tony Jordan Jr. and can help fill in what happened that night?
