MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis and Shelby County CrimeStoppers announced a $5,000 reward for information in the death of a 21-year-old whose mother would not give up on the case.
Jordan Jermaine Mason died on Sept. 23, 2022, a week after his 21st birthday, from a gunshot wound. Police said his body was found in an apartment at Highland Hills Apartments, at 2831 Fosterwood Drive, east of the Airport.
CrimeStoppers said Memphis police investigators first ruled the death of Mason’s death as being from unknown causes, with a "suggestion that it could be a suicide."
CrimeStoppers officials said Mason’s mother did not believe it could be suicide and did her own detective work. When she went to detectives with what she learned, CrimeStoppers said they were told the detectives were investigating the death as if it were a homicide.
Memphis Police told ABC24 Friday that the death has NOT been ruled a homicide, but the investigation is continuing.
Investigators said Mason died at 5:18 p.m., and his last known phone call was an hour before that. They believe someone may have seen the murder.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 901-528-CASH.
