Jordan Garcia was a 10-year-old boy killed by gunfire while walking home through Newark’s South Ward on the evening of November 15, 2025. He had just left a local recreation center where he played for the West Ward Hawks and was struck near the intersection of Chancellor Avenue and Leslie Street, outside a liquor store where several people were gathered. Five people were hit in the shooting: Jordan, his 11-year-old brother, 19-year-old Masi Rogers, 60-year-old Sheppard Miller, and 21-year-old Kiyah Mae Scott. Jordan and Scott died; the others survived with injuries ranging from stable to critical in the days that followed.

Jordan is remembered by coaches, teammates, and family as outgoing, funny, and full of energy. Vigils, balloon releases, and services at Raheem Morris Field and around the city drew hundreds of mourners wearing his team colors and calling for an end to the violence that took him. Surveillance footage showed two shooters walking along Chancellor Avenue before the attack, and authorities recovered weapons from a vehicle after a police pursuit; several people were taken into custody. Officials announced a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to an arrest, and the homicide investigation remains active.

Did anyone see Jordan or his brother that evening, or have information about people seen near Chancellor Avenue and Leslie Street around 7 p.m. on November 15?
