Emmett Louis Jordan Jr. was fatally shot in the early morning of Saturday, January 22, 2005. The shooting occurred at about 1:50 a.m. near the intersection of 16th and U Streets SE in Washington, D.C., and ended the life of a man remembered by family as gentle, kind, and funny.

Jordan was a husband to Doreatha Riddick and father to Josephine L. Riddick, Monica Jordan, and Randolph Jordan; his family also included stepson Dwane Riddick and numerous siblings. The Metropolitan Police Department’s Violent Crimes Branch opened a homicide investigation and offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Does anyone who knew Emmett or who was in that area on January 22, 2005 have information that could help the investigation?
