Charges in Party Shooting Changed to Murder

UPDATE On Shooting

An early morning shooting on Saturday at A&E Auto repair on Sylvan Scene Drive near Treherneville in Northampton County has resulted in the death of Jessie Leon Jordan of Cheriton age 23.

When the Sheriffs Department arrived at the scene at approximately 2 am they found that the victim had been transported by private vehicle to the Emergency Room at Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital where doctors had pronounced him dead. 

Sheriff David Doughty reported that the shooting happened during a party.

The case is being investigated as a murder. Sheriff Doughty is asking anyone with information to contact the Northampton Sheriffs office at 678-0458.

This is the second murder to occur in Northampton County in the last two weeks. Gary Aaron Coble is being held in the Northampton County Jail in the Easter Sunday murder of 35 year old Bryan Keith Elliott of Cheriton.  

An arraignment in that case is scheduled for June 6 in Northampton District Court.
