On January 24, 2023, Columbus police found the body of 44-year-old Hajid Jordan in the trunk of a rented Tesla Model 3 parked in the 600 block of Hilliard-Rome Road. Jordan, who had been reported missing from Howard County, Maryland, had sustained a fatal gunshot wound.

Investigators say Jordan had been at a residence on East North Broadway in North Linden on January 13 with 44-year-old William Robertson and 24-year-old Tajuan Antonio Smith. An argument reportedly led to Robertson and Smith allegedly shooting and killing Jordan. The men then transported his body in the rented Tesla and abandoned the vehicle on Volney Avenue. Surveillance footage was released showing two people leaving the Tesla on January 14 to help identify them.

Robertson was arrested and held in the Franklin County Jail; Smith was at large and later faced a $3 million bond. Does anyone have information about Jordan’s movements in Columbus or about the two people seen on the surveillance footage?
