Jordan Perez was 14 and from Dallas when he was shot in the head during a fight between two groups of teenagers at a park in Old East Dallas on June 4, 2022. The altercation escalated to gunfire in the early morning hours; responding officers found Jordan and a 19-year-old who survived with injuries at the scene.

The Dallas Police Department opened an investigation and on June 17, 2022 arrested a 15-year-old, who was charged with murder and unlawfully carrying weapons; four weapons were seized during that arrest. The department’s gang unit continued to investigate the circumstances of the fight and shooting.

Jordan’s family and friends have held memorial walks and events calling for justice and an end to violence, while noting Jordan’s bright personality and the loss felt by the community. Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators.
