Errol Maurice Gordon Jr., a 32-year-old African American male from Savannah, Georgia, tragically lost his life on the evening of December 26, 2021. A native of Savannah, born on November 3, 1989, he was a well-known and active member of his community. Errol was a dedicated father to his two children, Emon and Zoey Gordon, and was deeply involved in his local church, the Urban Christian Tabernacle. He was also an entrepreneur, having founded the Gap Trap Music Label, LLC. His untimely death left a significant void in the lives of his family and friends.
On that Sunday evening, around 7 p.m., the Savannah Police Department responded to a call on the 500 block of Pennsylvania Avenue. Upon arrival, they discovered Errol with life-threatening gunshot injuries. Despite immediate medical attention and efforts to save him, he succumbed to his injuries shortly after being found. The preliminary investigation suggested that the shooting was preceded by a confrontation between two males, although the specifics of their relationship and the nature of the dispute remained unclear.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, a person of interest was detained at the scene by the Savannah Police Department. However, no charges have been filed in connection with Errol's death, and the case remains an active and ongoing investigation. The Savannah Police Criminal Investigations Division has urged the public to come forward with any information that might aid in solving the case and bringing justice for Errol Gordon and his family. His death marked the 34th homicide in Savannah for the year 2021, a statistic that has prompted calls from the community for increased efforts to address and reduce violent crime in the area. As the investigation continues, his family and friends hold on to the hope that those responsible for his death will be brought to justice.
