Patrick Jordan was 20 and from Little Rock when he was killed in the early hours of Sunday, July 30, 2023. Officers were called about shots fired at approximately 3:55 a.m. at a gas station at 800 Broadway Street and found Patrick with apparent gunshot wounds. Emergency medical personnel attempted life-saving measures but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Homicide detectives and the Crime Scene Search Unit secured the area, sought witnesses and video surveillance, and the Pulaski County Coroner’s office transported Patrick’s body to the State Crime Lab for autopsy. Detectives developed two suspects, 19-year-old Mickell Taylor and 19-year-old Overdis McKenzie Jr., who were questioned and arrested on capital murder charges.

Those charges were later dropped in March 2025 after the case’s lead witness was fatally shot, and Patrick’s homicide remained unsolved as of that time. Anyone with information about Patrick, the July 30, 2023 shooting, or surveillance near 800 Broadway Street is asked to come forward.
