Jordan Hadley, 33, was killed in Columbia, Kentucky, on Tuesday, January 13, 2026. Born November 5, 1992, in Lexington, he lived in Columbia, worked as a sawmill operator, served in the U.S. National Guard and attended Three Trees Church. He died at T.J. Health Columbia after a domestic dispute with his father, 56-year-old Phillip Bruce Hadley.

Kentucky State Police say the argument escalated and Phillip Hadley allegedly shot and killed his son. Phillip was arrested and charged with murder; he told investigators Jordan pushed him twice and was approaching him when he drew a .40 caliber handgun and fired, and that he believed his son was reaching for a weapon. Investigators reported no weapon was found at the scene. The investigation is ongoing.

Jordan is survived by his mother Lynette Brock, daughters Rylee and Parker Hadley, sister Mallory Frye, step-sister Haylea Brock and step-brother Adam Brock. If anyone has information about the events of January 13, please share what you know.
