A tragic event unfolded in San Jose as a 6-year-old boy, identified as Jordan Cam Walker, and his great-grandmother were found stabbed to death in an apartment in the Buena Vista neighborhood. The heartbreaking news has left the family, and the wider community, in a state of shock and grief.
Police officers discovered the bodies while conducting a welfare check at the apartment on Parkmore Avenue. According to police reports, the crime scene was traumatizing, even for veteran officers. The circumstances of the double homicide are still under investigation by the San Jose Police Department, which has yet to reveal why someone would commit such a heinous act against a young child and an elderly woman.
A GoFundMe page was created by the family to gather donations for Jordan’s funeral. The page describes Jordan as a “beloved 6-year-old child who loved the outdoors, swimming, playing baseball, and basketball.” He brought “joy, laughter, and love to many people” during his short life. His untimely departure has left an irreplaceable void in the hearts of those who knew him, the family shared.
The San Jose Police Department has not released the name of the great-grandmother or any further details regarding their investigation. SJPD Sgt. Steve Aponte stated, “This was a very shocking and tragic incident that we are investigating. We are seeking justice.” Anyone with information related to the incident is urged to contact Detective Sergeant Vallejo or Detective Harrington of the San Jose Police Department’s Homicide Unit via email at 3810@sanjoseca.gov, 4365@sanjoseca.gov, or call 408-277-5283. This case is a stark reminder of the importance of community vigilance and cooperation in helping law enforcement solve crimes and seek justice for victims.
