Jordan's family and friends gathered this morning at his eastern Birmingham home, in shock over the boy's death.Jordan was spending the summer with his father at the Homewood apartment complex where he was shot.

"He was my baby,'' said his grief-stricken grandmother, Faith Jordan. "He was a good little boy."

"All we know is his cousin had a gun and he was playing with the gun and Jordan got shot in the head,'' she said.

Jordan's mother, Aladrienne Jordan, lost her boyfriend last year to a fatal shooting in Fairfield.

Jordan was about to enter the fifth grade at Huffman Academy. "He was a really nice young man. We were looking forward to seeing him this school year,'' said Huffman Academy Principal Dr. Kathleen Lindsey. "We know his classmates and the staff are devastated by this event. We are praying for his family.''

He loved playing basketball at the YMCA, and also loved playing video games, especially basketball video games. "He was quiet,'' his grandmother said. "He was silly. He was just a little boy."

Taleshia Cook lives next door to the Jordan's family and said two of her four sons played with Jordan all of the time. "This really hits home,'' Cook said. "It's real scary. He was so mannerable, and always answered with 'yes ma'am.'''

Cook's 10-year-old son, one of Jordan's close friends, asked his mother this morning if Jordan would come back when the world ends. "I don't think they too much understand, but they know he's not coming back,'' Cook said. "I told them we'll all meet again."
