OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On the morning of June 16, 2025, San Antonio police reported that they attempted to stop a vehicle on Huebner Road. Officers claimed the car's occupants "taunted" them and "pointed guns," but no independent evidence or publicly released body camera footage confirms this version. Police chose to escalated a chase, a decision that ended in a catastrophic crash on the 10600 block of Huebner Road. Jordan died at the scene from blunt-force injuries. Three other teens survived but suffered critical injuries. Police have not disclosed the specific reason for pursuing the vehicle so aggressively nor provided evidence verifying the presence or display of firearms. Family members pushed back against the narrative that Jordan or the others threatened police. They described him as a kid who sometimes made impulsive choices but never carried weapons. His mother publicly demanded transparency and accountability, asking for video evidence and a full explanation of the officers’ decisions that led to her son's death.
