On the night of March 11, 2024, 19-year-old Aveyon Jordan was shot and killed in the 4700 block of Haywood Drive in Portsmouth. Police were called at about 10:30 p.m.; officers found Jordan with a life-threatening gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Neighbors reported multiple shots and screaming from the residential area where he had been visiting a friend.

Known as AJ to family and friends, Jordan was a standout student-athlete at Churchland High School, excelling in basketball and football and recently passing the 1,000-point mark in his basketball career. His mother, Angela Jordan, and local leaders described the deep grief felt across the school and community. Portsmouth Public Schools arranged crisis counseling for students and staff.

Portsmouth police said the investigation was in its early stages and no arrests had been announced; no public suspect has been identified. Does anyone with information about that night on Haywood Drive or Jordan’s movements that evening have details to share with investigators?
