Jordan Reed, an 18-year-old from Port Arthur, Texas, died on February 5, 2022, after being shot in the head inside a home in the 1100 block of 8th Avenue. The shooting occurred when a juvenile was unloading a handgun and, the juvenile says, the firearm discharged accidentally as it was being placed on a bed in an upstairs bedroom. The Port Arthur Police Department classified the shooting as accidental and no arrests were made.

Because the shooter was a juvenile, the department withheld certain details from the public, including the relationship between the shooter and Reed and who owned the gun. The case was handled by the Criminal Investigations Division, and no further arrests or litigation followed. Services for Reed were held at Hannah Funeral Home Inc., with friends and family paying respects.
