Denzell Roderick Jordan, 30, was shot and killed during a domestic incident at a home in the 600 block of Leo Lane in Killeen in the early morning of September 29, 2022. Officers were dispatched about 2:38 a.m.; Jordan was found with a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene at 3:30 a.m. by a Justice of the Peace, who ordered an autopsy.

Jordan, known as DJ and to clients as Sleepy the Barber, was a barber who had trained at Killeen High School and R & E Cosmetology and Barber College and worked in Houston and Los Angeles. He was remembered as a devoted father to his young son Kevyn and for spending free time feeding and giving haircuts to the homeless.

Investigators say a suspect displayed a weapon, shot Jordan, and fled. Detectives identified 40-year-old Antonio Bernard Heath as the suspect; he turned himself in, told police where he had hidden the weapon, and was arrested. The Bell County District Attorney filed complaints charging him with murder, tampering with evidence, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. A judge set bond at $1.1 million, and a grand jury later indicted him on first-degree murder plus the other charges; he pleaded not guilty at a May 2023 hearing. The murder charge remained pending as of March 2024.
