Jordan Pannell was 17 when he was shot and killed on May 5, 2017, in the North Highlands neighborhood of Sacramento County. Deputies found him on Greenholme Drive with gunshot wounds to his upper body; he died shortly after the shooting.

The shooting happened at a Cinco de Mayo party after an argument reportedly started over music. Two other people were also injured. Witnesses at the scene identified 18-year-old Kejhonne Henderson as the person who followed Pannell outside and shot him multiple times at close range. Henderson was arrested and charged with murder, attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon; he denied being at the party and maintained he did not know the victims.

Jordan’s death left family and friends grieving and raised questions in the community about how a dispute at a gathering turned deadly. If anyone attended that party or has information about what happened, please come forward.
