Jorden Jovan Lehman was a 15-year-old male from the San Antonio area who died from a gunshot wound to the chest on July 29, 2021. Public memorial records spell his name Jorden Jovan Lehman; some news reports and the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office used the spelling Jordan Jovan Lehmon. Officers responded shortly before 6 p.m. to a reported shooting at the Regatta Apartments in the 12700 block of Scarsdale Drive on the city’s Northeast Side and found him inside an apartment; the medical examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators determined Jorden did not live at the complex and had been visiting people in the apartment when he was shot. Three other people were inside and taken to San Antonio Police Department headquarters for questioning, but early reports did not describe them as arrested or publicly accuse any of them of firing the shot. Police said the person believed responsible was not at the scene when officers arrived and, as of July 30, 2021, no arrests had been announced and no suspect name, motive, or detailed account of the events had been released. The community later organized memorials and a fundraiser to help his family.

If anyone who knew Jorden or who was at the Regatta Apartments that evening has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
