The family of the 30-year-old man who was shot dead in Hammersmith last Wednesday (June 11) have paid tribute to their “warm, funny and loving” son. Jordan Oliver Rodney, who lived in Northolt, was killed in the double shooting last week.
Two men were treated for gunshot wounds in Claxton Road after police were called there at around 11.20pm. Both were rushed to hospital, where Jordan sadly died of his injuries.
His family said: “It is with unimaginable heartbreak that we confirm the tragic loss of our beloved Jordan Olivier Rodney, who was taken from us far too soon.
“Jordan was a man who touched the lives of everyone who knew him. He was warm, funny, and loving. Always quick with a smile or a joke that could brighten the dark day.
“His kindness, generosity, and humour left a lasting impression on friends and family alike. Our son, brother, uncle, and friend was so much more than the circumstances of his death. He brought joy to our lives every single day, and his absence leaves a hole that can never be filled.
“We will remember Jordie for the love he shared so freely, the laughter he inspired, and the way he made us all feel seen and valued. We ask for privacy as we grieve this devastating loss and whilst we work to come to terms with what has happened.
“We are eternally grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this incredibly difficult time.”
A post-mortem examination has taken place. The second man taken to hospital, also in his 30s, was discharged from hospital.
Police have charged a 28-year-old man in connection with the shooting. Jahmel Joseph, of Eaton Rise, Ealing, has been charged with murder, attempted murder, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, possession of a prohibited weapon and dangerous driving.
He appeared in custody at Bromley Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, June 14 and was remanded to appear at the Old Bailey on Friday, July 18.
