Jordan Allen Jr., called Baby J by his family, was 5 years old when he was struck by a stray bullet on the evening of March 31, 2020. He was on the second-story balcony of his father’s apartment at 8155 Richmond Avenue in southwest Houston making TikTok videos with family when five to six gunshots were fired from the parking lot below. A bullet hit Jordan in the head; he was taken to Texas Children’s Hospital on life support and died on April 3, 2020.

Investigators concluded Jordan was an innocent victim and that the gunfire was not aimed at him. A week after the shooting police named three women as persons of interest. The probe later produced felony murder charges: in August 2021 Shapree Monique Stoneham, then 30, was arrested; in August 2023 Alexis Moshae Gore, 25, was arrested and accused in court documents of firing the shots. Police also identified 34-year-old Jasmaine Janae Gore as a person of interest and continue to seek information.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 713-222-8477.
