Jordan Herron was 19 when he was fatally shot in Jersey City on July 20, 2019. Around 12:45 a.m. on New Heckman Drive, gunfire left two other young men — an 18-year-old and a 17-year-old — wounded and taken to Jersey City Medical Center. Herron was privately brought to Bayonne Medical Center and pronounced dead shortly after 1:00 a.m.; an autopsy recorded a gunshot wound to the chest and ruled the manner of death a homicide.

The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Unit and the Jersey City Police Department opened an active investigation, but no arrests were announced at the time. Federal court documents later identified Herron, also known as 23, as an associate of the Curries Woods Enterprise and said members paid homage to him after his death, suggesting possible ties to local gang conflicts. The person who fired the fatal shot has not been publicly identified.

Anyone who was in the New Heckman Drive area that night or has information about Herron’s death is asked to come forward.
