Seventeen-year-old Jordan Alexander Hill, known as J-Bird, was shot and killed on July 18, 2025, in the Park Place section of Norfolk. He had turned 17 on July 6 and was a student at Maury High School.

Jordan’s family and friends remembered him for an infectious smile, warm personality and for being a protective older brother. He volunteered in the community, worked part time at Popeye’s, and enjoyed sports and music. His grandmother said he had accepted Christ at an early age. The family held a candlelight vigil and called for an end to youth gun violence as they grieved.

If anyone in the Park Place area that afternoon or who knew Jordan has information about what happened, please come forward and share what you know.
