On July 9, 2014, 32-year-old Tony Jordan Jr. was shot and killed in Saint Louis after intervening to protect a neighbor. Jordan, a groundskeeper who lived at an apartment complex on the 5800 block of Cabanne Avenue, stepped in when 25-year-old Jessica Thompson was being attacked by her ex-boyfriend, Adrian Houston, who had forced his way into her home. Houston left after Jordan intervened but promised to return.

About 30 minutes before the shootings, Thompson called 911. A dispatcher error sent officers to an address about a block away, and police initially searched the wrong location. While officers were diverted, Houston returned armed, encountered Jordan outside and shot him, then went inside and shot Thompson. Both victims were later found dead when officers reached the correct apartment.

Houston, 39 at the time, was arrested and identified as the suspect. Jordan’s family described him as a devoted father who died trying to help another. Does anyone have memories of Jordan or was in that neighborhood that night who can help fill in what happened?
