In the early evening of November 4, 2018, the parking lot of Crums Lane Elementary School in Louisville, Kentucky, became the scene of a fatal shooting. Twenty-one-year-old Chase Haskins, a male resident of Louisville, was found by police with a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene. Another man, who has not been publicly identified, was also shot but survived with non-life-threatening injuries.
Initially, the circumstances surrounding the shooting were unclear, leaving Haskins' family searching for answers and pleading with the public for any information.
The investigation into the death of Chase Haskins took a significant turn three weeks later with the arrest of 19-year-old Travarius Jordan. Jordan was charged with murder and robbery in connection with Haskins' death. According to police reports, Jordan confessed to his involvement and provided a startling narrative of the events of that evening. He claimed that he, Haskins, and a third unnamed individual had planned to rob another man. However, during the commission of this robbery, Chase Haskins was shot and killed.
Following his arrest, Travarius Jordan faced the judicial system for his role in the events that led to Haskins' death. Court records from Jefferson County indicate that on November 5, 2019, Jordan was convicted of second-degree manslaughter and first-degree robbery. For these crimes, he received a sentence of 11 years in prison. He is currently incarcerated at the Green River Correctional Complex. His parole eligibility date is set for March 20, 2028, with a maximum sentence expiration date of November 21, 2029. The involvement and identity of the third person mentioned by Jordan have not been publicly disclosed by the authorities, and no further arrests in connection with the case have been announced.
