On January 7, 2025, a federal jury found Grenden James Jordan guilty of illegally possessing a firearm after having been previously convicted of a felony. The announcement was made by Acting United States Attorney Kevin Davidson.
“The illegal use of guns by individuals that have no regard for the safety of our communities, our children, or anyone but themselves will not be tolerated,” stated Acting United States Attorney Davidson. “My office is committed to aggressively prosecuting all violations of federal firearms laws to deter criminals like Grenden Jordan from engaging in these public shootings and placing innocent bystanders in harm’s way.”
The case stemmed from an incident on March 16, 2024. An officer with the Montgomery Police Department responded to gunshots heard near Atlanta Highway and Eastern Boulevard overpass. Upon arrival, the officer observed three men walking away from a blue Dodge Challenger stopped in traffic lanes. One man, identified as Grenden James Jordan, was seen throwing a firearm towards the roadside—a moment captured on dash cam video. The men fled the scene.
Witnesses reported that occupants of the Dodge Challenger exchanged gunfire with a red sedan which left before law enforcement arrived. Bullet holes were found on the Dodge Challenger and another vehicle caught in crossfire sustained damage as well. This vehicle carried innocent bystanders including a mother, father, and four-year-old child who was injured by broken glass.
Officers recovered an AR-style pistol thrown by Jordan along with a high-capacity drum magazine loaded with ammunition. During trial proceedings, evidence included a photo showing Jordan posing with an AR-style pistol similar to one found at the scene prior to March 16, 2024. The jury concluded that Jordan possessed this firearm during the shooting event despite his previous felony convictions prohibiting such possession.
Jordan faces up to 15 years in federal prison without parole following his conviction; sentencing will occur in coming months where guidelines and statutory factors will influence any decision rendered by federal district court judge.
