Donte Lamonte Jordan

How they died

Deadly force

Jordan allegedly fired multiple rounds at a driver of a dark-colored other near a gas station. The driver, who later reported that he did not know Jordan nor what provoked the attack, fled. When officers arrived, they saw Jordan walking along the sidewalk of West Anaheim Street near Chestnut Avenue with an object in each hand. He matched the description that callers provided, the department said. According to the release, when officers "made contact" with Jordan, he dropped an object from his right hand, which turned out to be a handgun. He fled with an object in his left hand when he was shot and killed by police. The object was a cell phone.
