The Meriwether County’s pursuit for justice continued this week as two more suspects were arrested in connection to the fatal shooting of 14-year-old Jordan Alvin Simon that took place on September 25. Jamarion Mondrez Ford, 18, and Maurice Jamarcus Malone, 20, were both detained on charges of murder last Wednesday, recent developments reported by

Despite their age, the seriousness of the crime the young men stand accused of belies their youth. Details from the
WRBL report
indicate that Ford and Malone are currently being held at Meriwether County Jail without bond. Their apprehension follows the earlier arrest of Thaddeus Stokes, also implicated in Simon’s death.
In a statement obtained by
FOX 5 Atlanta
, Sheriff Chuck Smith commended the collaboration between the Meriwether County Sheriff’s Office and Newnan police. He stressed the commitment shared by investigators to “pursuing justice for the Simon family and others affected by this senseless act.” While these arrests represent a significant stride in the ongoing investigation, the case is still active.
As the case against Ford, Malone, and Stokes builds, it remains imperative to remember the ongoing struggle against the systemic issues that give rise to such tragedies. Echoing the sentiments of law enforcement, the earnest hope persists that the continued efforts will indeed bring some measure of peace to the family of Jordan Alvin Simon and a community demanding justice.
