Juordan Malik Hill, a 20-year-old African American male, was tragically shot and killed on September 3, 2018, in Charlotte, North Carolina. The incident occurred in the evening, just after 8 p.m., while Hill was standing outside an apartment complex on Pruitt Street in west Charlotte. According to reports, Hill was with several other individuals when the suspect fired five shots from more than 30 yards away. Two of those shots struck Hill, one hitting him in the neck.
After being hit, Hill ran inside a nearby apartment where he collapsed and was later pronounced dead at the scene.
Hill's parents, particularly his mother Lajuana Hill, have been actively seeking justice for their son's murder. They believe that Juordan was targeted, although the motive remains unclear. In an effort to encourage witnesses to come forward, the family has offered to pay for the relocation and first month's rent of anyone who provides information leading to an arrest. Additionally, a reward of $6,500 has been offered for information related to the case.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department has been investigating the case, with Detective Luke Peden leading the efforts. Despite the ongoing investigation, no arrests have been made, and the suspect remains at large. The police have identified a suspect vehicle, described as a white, early 1990s Chevrolet Caprice, which was seen fleeing the scene of the crime. Authorities have urged anyone with information to contact the Homicide Unit or Crime Stoppers, where they can remain anonymous.
The case has garnered significant attention, with local news outlets covering the family's plea for justice and the community's response. Despite the passage of time, the Hill family continues to hope for closure and justice for Juordan Malik Hill.
