On December 1, 2017, 58-year-old Jean Jordan was shot and killed outside a home in Lexington, Mississippi. Reports describe the shooter only as a neighbor, indicating the fatal confrontation took place in a residential setting between people who likely knew one another by sight. Jordan is remembered online as a U.S. Army veteran with ties to Lexington Homes and as someone described by friends and family as intelligent, sharp-witted, and a familiar presence around town.

Jordan’s death is also noted against later federal scrutiny of the city and police department, a context that has left some questions about how cases in Lexington were handled.
