(La Porte, IN) - More details have been obtained about the shooting of a man in La Porte on Wednesday and the arrests that followed.
Jordan Jackson, 23, is charged in La Porte Circuit Court with attempted murder while his father, Larry Jackson, both of Michigan City, is charged with aiding, inducing or causing an attempted murder.
Each crime is a Level 1 felony.
The shooting happened about 1 a.m. at Maple Tree Apartments at 1405 W. 18th St.
According to police, the investigation shows Jordan and the victim, Adam Fredenburg, argued before getting into a physical confrontation that night and later resumed arguing.
At one point, Jordan told police he told his father in a text message to bring his gun before they met in a store parking lot just a short walk from the apartment complex, according to authorities.
Jordan allegedly returned to the apartment and shot Fredenburg in the neck. After the shooting, police said Mr. Jackson drove his son back to his residence.
Police said one of the children inside the home where the shooting occurred claims Jordan told him a few days prior to the gunfire that he will have to shoot the victim.
According to family members of the victim, the bullet chipped a vertebrae, struck a major artery and ruptured his sinus cavity. Fredenburg was airlifted to Memorial Hospital in South Bend where he continues what could be a long recovery.
