In the early morning hours of October 23, 2017, the quiet of the 200 block of Marigny Circle in Lafayette, Louisiana, was shattered by the sound of gunfire. When Lafayette Parish Sheriff's deputies arrived around 3 a.m., they discovered the body of 29-year-old Jordan Dean. The Carencro man had been fatally shot in what investigators quickly determined to be a homicide.
The investigation into Dean's death was launched by the Criminal Investigation Division of the Lafayette Parish
Sheriff's Office. Authorities appealed to the public for any information regarding the shooting, urging anyone with knowledge of the incident to come forward. A GoFundMe campaign was established to assist his family with funeral expenses.
Despite the ongoing investigation, information regarding any potential suspects or arrests in the death of Jordan Dean has not been publicly released. The case remains an open homicide investigation as authorities continue to seek answers in the shooting that claimed the life of the young man. Other unrelated homicides on Marigny Circle have occurred in subsequent years, leading to arrests in those specific cases, but the individuals responsible for Dean's death have not been officially identified or apprehended.
