Jordan G. Martin, a 17-year-old from Columbus, Ohio, was shot and killed after an altercation at the Exxon station at 693 E. Fifth Ave. on July 17, 2017. The shooting happened shortly before 7:00 p.m.; Jordan was taken to Grant Medical Center and pronounced dead within about 40 minutes. Police described the incident as under investigation and were searching for suspects, but no arrests or suspect identifications have been released.

Jordan was raised by foster parent Emma Simms, who later gained full custody. Family describe him as a loving teen who enjoyed basketball and video games and who left behind a daughter, Sha nía Martin, and a large extended family. His death was recorded as the 72nd homicide in Columbus in 2017, a year with a noted rise in violent crime compared with the previous year.

What can anyone who was at the Exxon station that evening or who knew Jordan tell investigators to help bring those responsible to justice?
