ECORSE, Mich. – Alvin Jordan is just 18 years old and could face life in prison if convicted of a deadly crime against a senior citizen from River Rouge.
It was just after noon Monday on 9th Street in Ecorse when 68-year-old Will Henry Wright left a home after a visit with his friend. Investigators say Jordan jumped Wright with the intent of robbing him on the sidewalk.
Police say the two men struggled for a gun and that's when Jordan allegedly shot Wright two times, killing him. The gun used was a .357 handgun.
Wright's family is distraught and not ready to share more about their beloved husband and father.
Jordan has been arraigned and is being held at the Wayne County Jail without bond.
