On the evening of October 12, 2018, 26-year-old Xavier Jourdan of Springfield, Massachusetts, was found fatally shot inside a motor vehicle that had stopped between a fence and a telephone pole near Cambridge Street and Burr Street. Officers responded about 9:07 p.m. after the city’s ShotSpotter system detected gunfire and pronounced Jourdan deceased at the scene; it appeared he had been the driver.

The Springfield Police Department’s Homicide Unit and the Hampden District Attorney’s Office Murder Unit opened an active homicide investigation. Authorities expressed sympathy to the family, but no public information about suspects or arrests has been released and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone was in the Cambridge Street–Burr Street area that night or has information about Xavier’s death, please share what you know with investigators.
