Carlton B. Jordan, 47, of Bloomington, Illinois, was found dead from gunshot wounds on the morning of November 16, 2014. Born December 9, 1966, in Peoria to Troy Lee and Willie Mae (West) Knox, he was married to Cynthia Smith and remembered by family and neighbors for his kindness and dedication to his family.

The Bloomington Police Department opened an investigation into what was treated as a homicide. In January 2016 Tracy Newson, 49, of Normal, Illinois, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Prosecutors relied on witness testimony and forensic analysis at trial; a jury found Newson guilty and he received a 55-year prison sentence.

Anyone who knew Carlton, his routines, or saw anything in Bloomington around mid-November 2014 that might shed light on the case is asked to share information.
