Jordan Johnson, 24 and from Fort Lee, New Jersey, was reported missing in the winter of 2015 after he failed to meet his girlfriend. She returned to their shared apartment to find it burglarized and reported him missing. Days later police located Johnson’s black 2013 BMW in the Norwood section of the Bronx at East 211th Street and Tryon Avenue. His body was found inside the car’s trunk; emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

The New York City Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide caused by compression of the neck. Investigators released surveillance footage showing a man who had been inside Johnson’s vehicle walking away in the early hours of a Wednesday morning. The man wore gray pants and a blue jacket with a fur-lined hood and was described as a person of interest.
