On the evening of October 19, 2016, 41-year-old Joseph Shatawn Jordan, a Black man living in Holland, Michigan, was shot and killed during what began as a domestic dispute. The confrontation involved Jordan and Darrion Blakeney, the 25-year-old boyfriend of Jordan’s mother; reports say Jordan pushed Blakeney’s mother while she tried to intervene, and the encounter escalated into violence when Blakeney shot Jordan.

Blakeney was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. In 2017 he pled guilty; the court sentenced him to two years for a gun charge followed by 16 to 40 years for second-degree murder.

If anyone knew Joseph, his family, or witnessed the events that evening, please share what might help clarify what happened.
