Jordan Means was 16 when he was found shot to death on April 19, 2014, in a basement apartment in the 8200 block of South Houston Avenue in South Chicago. The discovery came at about 10:30 a.m. after witnesses reported hearing gunshots. Jordan, a student at Bowen High School, and another teenager, 18-year-old Anthony Bankhead, were both shot in the head and died at the scene.

Investigators say the dispute began over a cell phone cord and escalated on Facebook. Jordan’s mother, Camille Cochran, said her son had exchanged heated words online with 23-year-old Justin Hamilton, a member of the Latin Kings whom Jordan knew and reportedly admired. Hamilton was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and ordered held without bail. Authorities also indicated there was another individual they wanted to speak with as the probe continued.

An online fundraiser was set up to help cover Jordan’s funeral and burial expenses. If anyone knew Jordan, Anthony, or the people involved, please share what can help the investigation.
