On July 22, 2025, officers with the Statesville Police Department, in collaboration with the U.S. Marshals Carolinas Regional Fugitive Task Force, apprehended 33-year-old Darryl Davekio Jordan. Jordan was located in Huntersville, NC, and taken into custody without incident. He has been charged with murder and is currently being held at the Iredell County Detention Center without bond, pending his first court appearance.
