Jordan Luis was 18 when he was fatally shot on July 26, 2015, at the Shadow Ridge Apartments on Barnard Drive in Oceanside, California. The complex housed former foster youth in a transitional program. Jordan and his roommate, also 18, had repeated conflicts over cleanliness and living conditions and had each asked to be relocated because they could not get along.

The roommate, identified as Calvin Glass Jr., confessed to shooting Jordan and also wounded another person who survived. Reports say the confrontation involved accusations of theft and mutual paranoia that escalated into violence. Jordan’s foster mother, Michelle Zambrana, said he had been planning to move out in mid-August, weeks after the killing.

After the shooting, Glass was arrested and charged with voluntary manslaughter and attempted murder; in March 2016 he pleaded guilty and received a 21-year state prison sentence. The case raised questions from friends and family about oversight and support in the foster care and transitional housing systems.
