Jordan Jermaine Mason was found dead from a gunshot wound inside an apartment at the Highland Hills Apartments on Fosterwood Drive in Memphis on September 23, 2022. He was 21 and had celebrated his birthday about a week earlier. Initially, investigators considered suicide, but Mason’s mother challenged that conclusion and brought information to detectives that prompted them to reopen the case as a potential homicide.

The death has not been formally classified as a homicide and the investigation remains active. Memphis and Shelby County CrimeStoppers is offering up to $5,000 for information. Investigators noted Mason’s last known phone call occurred roughly an hour before he died, which may point to witnesses who have not yet come forward. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified.

If anyone knew Jordan, was with him that evening, or saw or heard anything around the Highland Hills Apartments on September 23, 2022, please contact investigators or CrimeStoppers.
