Quarderious Jordan, 26, was shot and killed on September 10, 2022, at the Avery Trace Apartment complex in Port Arthur, Texas. Police say officers responded about 9:05 a.m., found Jordan with a single gunshot wound, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 15-year-old, identified as Khalin White, is the suspect and was later certified to stand trial as an adult on a first-degree murder charge. The police affidavit reports conflicting accounts about whether Jordan produced a concealed firearm and fired in self-defense before collapsing; investigators are still determining the sequence of events.

The killing has drawn notable community concern, with local leaders and groups calling for improved safety. The Port Arthur Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division continues the probe and the suspect is held at the Minnie Rogers Juvenile Justice Center.
