When police arrived, they found Jordan in a vehicle suffering from a gunshot wound, Turner said.
Officers said Jordan was taken to an area hospital where he later died of his injuries.
Randolph said Jordan's father is known for being the neighborhood's biggest helping hand.
“He was just over here. He and his son (the victim) were over here last week to help my mom,” she said. “And who would’ve known that was my first and last time meeting him and seeing him?”
Several neighbors said they have never experienced something like this, but do not think the shooting was random.
"There is currently no suspect information," Turner wrote in an email around 6:20 a.m.
Randolph hopes police can find the person responsible.
“It’s so sad and I pray for justice and closure for the family,” Randolph said.
The investigation into the shooting remains ongoing, police said.
