On the evening of September 24, 2020, a burst of gunfire on the 40 block of Gilmerton Avenue in Portsmouth, Virginia, left 20-year-old Daquan Terryon Jordan, a Black male, lying with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso. First responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

Portsmouth police arrested two men in connection with the killing: Tayv’on K. Black, 20 at the time, who was charged with first-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and obstruction of justice; and 19-year-old Carlton Sherrod Jr., who was charged with accessory after the fact to murder and offenses tied to concealing evidence. In January 2024 Tayv’on Black went to trial; a jury found him not guilty on the first-degree murder charge. The status of the case against Carlton Sherrod Jr. after that acquittal was not immediately clear.

Does anyone have information about Daquan Jordan’s life in Portsmouth or about what happened on Gilmerton Avenue that night?
