On Sunday afternoon, 24-year-old Jordan Jefferson was shot and killed after walking out of a South Shore church, authorities and witnesses said.
"I heard the pop-pop-pop, three bullets," said the Rev. Issac Whittmon, pastor of the Greater Metropolitan Church of Christ. "I saw the man land from a distance."
Jefferson was walking with Whittmon's son at the time in the 2400 block of E. 75th St., and bullets had just missed the other man, Whittmon said.
