Thomas Gordon, a 30-year-old from Jacksonville, Florida, was shot dead in the early hours of January 7, 2018, near West 8th and Tyler streets. Officers say the city’s ShotSpotter system alerted them to gunfire; when they arrived they found Gordon lying in the street and he died of his gunshot wounds. The location was more than 10 miles from his Arlington home.

Gordon had played arena football in the Indoor Football League after a brief stint with the Kansas City Chiefs and had been due to move to Los Angeles to coach running backs at Pierce College. His death was one of four homicides in Jacksonville during a 20-hour span that weekend. At the time of the incident there were no immediate arrests, no description of a shooter, and no clear motive announced. The investigation remains active and authorities have asked anyone with information to come forward.
