Jordan Trydette Breeland Sr., 21, was found inside a car in the 100 block of Jefferson Avenue in York, Pennsylvania, on October 15, 2013, suffering from a fatal gunshot wound to his chest. First responders attempted aid but Breeland died of his wounds. The shooting was described as a drive-by tied to an ongoing feud between rival street gangs; Breeland was identified as a member of the Parkway gang and his death was linked to the conflict with the Southside gang.

Investigators identified two members of the Southside gang, Elvin Mateo Jr. and Durell Cotton Jr., as primary suspects. Their arrests led to a trial that began in May 2016; a York County jury deliberated about two and a half hours and found both men guilty of first-degree murder. Both received mandatory life sentences for Breeland’s killing.

Does anyone have additional information about Breeland’s life or about the gang tensions in York at that time?
