THIS is the young teenager who was murdered on a night in Derry in the early hours of this morning.
Police say an 18 year old local man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering 19-year-old Jordan in William Street area during a ‘one-punch’ assault.
The suspect is currently in custody at Strand Road PSNI Station.
Jordan is from the Rossnagalliagh area of the city.
Detective Chief Inspector Geoff Boyce of the PSNI Serious Crime Branch is appealing for witnesses to the incident to contact police.
He said: “We know that many people were socialising in William Street early this morning and we would like to hear from members of the public who witnessed an altercation in the area between approximately 1:45am and a 2:15am to get in touch with detectives at Strand Road on telephone number 101, quoting reference number 228 of 24/9/17.
“Police would particularly like to hear from motorists who were either parked on or travelling along William Street during these times and who had a dash cam fitted to their vehicle.
“Alternatively, information can also be given anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
SINN Féin’s Elisha McCallion has expressed her condolences following the murder of Jordan.
The Foyle MP said: “The city woke up this morning to the sad news that a young man lost his life in an incident in the city centre last night.
“My thoughts at this time are with the family and friends of this young man who will no doubt be devastated at this tragic news.
“There is a great sense of shock and sadness in the community following this death.”
Ms McCallion added: “I would call on anyone with information on what happened to bring it forward to the PSNI.”
