Charles Jordan, 55, of San Diego was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head on the 1600 block of K Street in the East Village neighborhood on November 5, 2022. San Diego police discovered his body in the street shortly after 5:30 a.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The San Diego Police Homicide Unit opened an investigation and treated the shooting as a targeted attack.

Detectives examined the scene, collected evidence and reviewed nearby surveillance footage, which led them to identify 34-year-old Edward Childs of San Diego as the primary suspect. Childs reportedly fled the area after the shooting; he was arrested without incident in Hermiston, Oregon, on November 30, 2022, and booked in Umatilla County on murder charges. Multiple agencies including San Diego Police, Oregon State Police, Grant and Umatilla County sheriffs, and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police assisted in the arrest and extradition efforts.

Jordan is remembered by family as a husband, father and friend whose life was cut short. Does anyone have information about Jordan, the East Village area that morning, or relevant surveillance that could help clarify what happened?
