On the night of April 11, 2012, 16-year-old Jordan James Casper was fatally wounded by a gunshot at a mobile home on Deep Creek Boulevard in the Deep Creek section of Chesapeake, Virginia. Jordan, a student at Deep Creek High School and a native of Portsmouth, was at the home with his older brother Jeremy Casper and a friend; the three were reportedly drinking and handling a firearm when the weapon discharged and struck Jordan.

Jordan’s parents are James Carroll Casper, Jr. and Kimberly Lynn Harris Casper. His funeral service was held at Graham Funeral Home, with a private burial at Olive Branch Cemetery in Portsmouth; friends and family gathered afterward at the Deep Creek Ruritan Club. Jeremy Casper was charged in connection with the shooting and was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter for the accidental death.

Does anyone have memories of Jordan or information about that night that could add to the record?
