Jordan K. Spencer, 28, was shot and killed on the evening of Saturday, June 14, 2025, in a convenience-store parking lot at 2032 Chelsea Avenue in North Memphis. Officers found Spencer with gunshot wounds around 10:27 p.m.; he was taken to Regional One Hospital and later died of his injuries. Surveillance video showed two vehicles arriving and leaving the scene and recorded one of the gunmen entering the store shortly before the shooting. Witnesses said Spencer and a suspect had a heated argument earlier that day.

Family described him as a hardworking man who did odd jobs like cutting grass to earn money. Law enforcement later arrested a 17-year-old male, who has been charged with first-degree murder; the arrest followed vehicle-tracking work involving a stolen Chevrolet Camaro. As of early July 2025, the teen had not been bound over to be tried as an adult, and Spencer’s funeral was held July 5, 2025, at Macedonia M.B. Church.

Anyone with information about the shooting or the vehicles seen on surveillance is asked to come forward.
