Canton is waking up to some heavy news this week. A nineteen-year-old local kid named Jordan A. Horton is gone. He was shot in the lower back and left in an apartment parking lot on Tuesday morning. He had his whole life ahead of him, but it was cut short in a flash of violence that has left this entire neighborhood reeling.
It was around seven in the morning when the call came in. Emergency crews rushed out to the Skyline Terrace Apartment Complex. That is right in the 900 block of Alan Page Drive SE. When they got there, they found Jordan lying right next to a car. He was hurting bad from a gunshot wound to his lower back. Paramedics tried everything they could, but it was too late. Jordan died right there at the scene.
Jordan was just starting his adult life. Now his family is left with a massive hole in their hearts. Friends are sharing their favorite memories of him, trying to make sense of something so senseless. The community is wrapping its arms around his loved ones, offering up prayers and all the support they can muster. But even with all that love, the pain of losing a young guy like Jordan is incredibly deep.
The local police did not waste any time. Detectives immediately ruled the case a homicide. They started digging, putting pieces of the puzzle together. Within hours, they identified two suspects who they believe are responsible. Now, the hunt is on to find them and bring some peace to Jordan’s family.
Warrants are out for two local residents. One of them is Jason L. Singletary, a twenty-five-year-old Canton man. He is facing charges of complicity to commit murder, felonious assault, and shooting near prohibited premises. The other suspect is just a kid himself. A sixteen-year-old boy is charged with murder and felonious assault. It is a tragic situation all around when teenagers are involved in this kind of violence.
Canton police are calling on anyone in the area to speak up. They need any tips, no matter how small, to track these guys down. You can call the detective bureau directly or send an anonymous tip. The community wants justice for Jordan, and the police are working around the clock to make that happen.
As the days go by, people in Canton are holding onto the memories of Jordan. They want his name to be remembered for who he was, not just how he died. The grief is heavy, but there is a quiet hope that the people responsible will soon be behind bars. Until then, the neighborhood stands together, mourning a life taken way too soon.
