Cion L. Jordan was 22 when he was shot and killed in Saint Paul on the night of July 29, 2026. A homeowner and legal billing analyst who had been studying to become a paralegal at North Hennepin Community College, he went to an apartment complex on the 200 block of Seventh Street East after receiving urgent calls from a female friend who said she was being assaulted. Shortly after his arrival, gunfire broke out; Cion was struck in the stomach and later died at Regions Hospital despite blood transfusions. Another man suffered a non-life-threatening leg wound.

The Saint Paul Police Department opened a homicide investigation that included examining phone records and social media activity. Cion’s mother, Malinda Aguilar, publicly questioned why her son was called instead of law enforcement and expressed profound grief and confusion. As of early August 2026, no arrests had been announced and no suspects had been publicly identified.

Did anyone in Saint Paul see activity around the 200 block of Seventh Street East that night or have information about the calls Cion received?
