Jordan Christopher Harris, 25, was shot multiple times at about 3:10 a.m. on September 2, 2023, while at an unauthorized party inside a commercial building on Central Avenue in Albany, New York. He was transported to Albany Medical Center Hospital but died of his injuries. Authorities say they believe Harris was a specific target of the attack and opened a homicide investigation.

In the days after the killing police identified persons of interest, but the case remained unsolved. By late 2025 no arrests had been announced. Family and community members have held vigils and his mother has continued to appeal publicly for information. Harris, born in Montego Bay, Jamaica, was remembered as an exceptional soccer player who liked mechanic work and helped older people in his neighborhood.

If anyone has information about that night or Harris’s movements leading up to the shooting, please come forward to the Albany Police Department.
