Jordan Latimer was 19 when he was killed by gunfire in Albany on August 1, 2021. He and a 22-year-old man were shot near Catherine and Elizabeth Streets in the late afternoon; both were taken to Albany Medical Center Hospital and Latimer died of his wounds, the city’s 12th homicide that year. The other victim was reported in critical condition.

Albany Police said they did not believe the shooting was random and that the victims and the shooter or shooters likely knew one another. A 24-year-old man at the hospital was arrested and charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon after being found with two loaded handguns, but it was not publicly announced whether that arrest was tied to Latimer’s killing. Latimer had been awaiting trial on an October shooting that injured a 15-year-old and was out on a $150,000 bond.

The investigation remained open and police appealed for information; no public announcement of a suspect or arrest in Latimer’s homicide has been reported. If anyone has information about what happened near Catherine and Elizabeth Streets on August 1, 2021, please come forward.
