NE Phila. man charged with killing daughter's beau

A NORTHEAST PHILLY man has been charged with voluntary manslaughter in the shooting death of his daughter's boyfriend in September.

Charles Jordan, 41, was arraigned early Monday in the case and released on bail, said Tasha Jamerson, a spokeswoman for the District Attorney's Office.

Jordan allegedly shot Marc Carrion, 32, once in the head Sept. 15 after finding the man in his daughter's bedroom in the Holme Circle Apartments, on Axe Factory Road near Stamford Street, police said.

Police sources at the time told the Daily News that Jordan mistook Carrion for an intruder, after seeing him crouched in a corner, and shot him during a struggle.

In a criminal complaint, investigators said Jordan shot Carrion "while acting under a sudden and intense passion, resulting from serious provocation" by Carrion.

Carrion's mother, Gloria Moyett, told the Daily News that her son had met Jordan's daughter Brenda about a month before the shooting and that the two had been dating.

Moyett said Brenda had invited her son into her bedroom that night after Carrion had given her a ride home from her job at a nearby 7-Eleven.

"He's a stranger in your house, and you just shoot him in the head?" she said. "He's with your daughter, she's not screaming, and you shoot him just because you don't know him?

"This doesn't add up to me."

A neighbor told the People Paper that he had heard screaming coming from the Jordans' apartment in the moments before the shooting, and that a female voice shrieked, "No, Daddy, no!" after a single gunshot rang out.

Investigators said Brenda initially told them that Carrion had climbed through her window, but later recanted that story.

Jordan, who has no prior criminal record, faces a preliminary hearing Nov. 12, according to court records.
