On the afternoon of November 13, 2017, ten-year-old Richard Jordan III was shot while a passenger in a car stopped at a traffic light at Airways Boulevard and Ketchum Road in South Memphis. Occupants of three separate cars — described as a gold Chevrolet Malibu with missing hubcaps, a black Chrysler 300, and a gray sedan — pulled alongside and opened fire on the family’s vehicle. The driver managed to get to a nearby police station; Richard and two others were taken to the hospital. Richard later died at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital; the other two victims survived.

Police report that the adults in the car could not say why they might have been targeted and the motive remains unknown. Surveillance footage reportedly captured images of two of the vehicles believed connected to the ambush, but investigators have not located them. Only a handful of tips have come in over the years and no arrests have been announced, leaving the case unsolved.
