On May 9, 2021, Chester Lee Jordan, 59, of Decatur, Alabama, gave someone a ride from a local convenience store and was later found in the parking lot of an apartment complex with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Decatur Morgan Hospital and died of his injuries. Investigators determined the shooting was motivated by robbery.

Two men were later identified as suspects. Mashaud Tyliek Lewis was arrested days after the shooting and charged with capital murder; a detective testified at a preliminary hearing that Lewis had confessed to participating in the plan to rob Jordan, though no evidence placed Lewis at the scene. The second suspect, 27-year-old Antone Lamar Yarbrough, was arrested by federal marshals in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on June 29, 2021, and extradited to Morgan County to face capital murder charges.

While awaiting trial, Lewis was charged in June 2022 with first-degree permitting or facilitating escape after an alleged attempt to help another inmate break out of Morgan County Jail. As of July 2022, no trial dates had been set for either man. Does anyone have information about Chester Jordan, his movements that day, or the events at the convenience store?
