7) Jordan Brown, 11 Years Old
Jordan Brown does not fit the profile for most of the children who end up killers. He was eleven years old when he was arrested, and then convicted of murdering his father’s fiance, Kenzie Houk. Jordan was a typical eleven year old boy; he had a lot of friends, rode his bike, played football and went hunting with his dad on occasional weekends. Family members and friends of Jordan say that he was always polite and well-mannered, as well. One Easter, Jordan had received a hunting rifle that was made specifically for a young person. This rifle was said to be the one that was used for the murder; however, it was never actually proven.
Kenzie Houk was a little over eight months pregnant, and lived with Jordan’s father and her two young daughters. Sources state that an ex-boyfriend of Kenzie’s was stalking her, and there was a restraining order issued a year previous to Kenzie’s homicide. Even though there was gun powder residue found on Jordan’s small shotgun, it technically couldn’t be proven that he was the one who shot it, and he also had been out shooting the gun with his father the weekend before. There was a lot of evidence that could be argued that would prove Jordan’s innocence, but he is currently serving a sentence in Juvenile detention until he reaches the age of 21 years old. Jordan was convicted of two homicides, since his would-be stepmother was pregnant. He was deprived of a new trial, and has continually denied any involvement with the murder, at all.
