Dana Jordan, a 38-year-old Black man, was shot dead at a residence on Circle Drive in the Mobile area on November 15, 2023. Prichard Police responding to reports of a shooting found Jordan deceased with multiple gunshot wounds. Authorities arrested 76-year-old Mary Jordan and charged her with his murder after court documents say she confessed, allegedly telling investigators she was upset about an incident the night before.

Family accounts in court filings describe long-running turmoil; one cousin said Mary Jordan had grown distressed because her grandson, who was living with her, was allegedly taking money from her, and suggested the shooting may have followed that dispute. At a November 22, 2023, court appearance Mary Jordan pleaded not guilty. Her attorney raised concerns about her mental capacity and possible dementia, and a hearing in early January 2024 included testimony that she had rambled for a long period after being read her Miranda rights before saying she understood. The case was scheduled to be presented to a grand jury after that hearing.

If anyone knew Dana Jordan or has information about his life or the events leading to November 15, 2023, please come forward.
