Damari Xavien Jordan, 21, was killed after a late-night traffic confrontation on Interstate 75 in Atlanta on October 18, 2025. Police say Jordan’s silver sedan hit the right rear side of a Ford pickup near Northside Drive just north of Atlantic Station. Both drivers stopped on the shoulder and investigators initially reported that gunfire was exchanged. Jordan was struck by gunfire, fell into active lanes, and was then run over by an unidentified vehicle that left the scene; an Atlanta police patrol car also struck him moments later. Emergency personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner found multiple gunshot wounds and multiple generalized blunt-force injuries as significant contributors to death.

By June 2026 the Atlanta Police Department closed the shooting investigation as a justifiable homicide, so the pickup driver was not arrested or charged. A separate Georgia State Patrol probe sought the hit-and-run driver who struck Jordan after he fell; that driver had not been publicly identified or reported arrested. Jordan’s relatives continue to dispute the official conclusion and have asked for the case to be reopened. Does anyone have information about the shooting, the pickup driver, or the fleeing motorist that could help clarify what happened that night?
