Christopher Jordan. Credit: WINK The fight continues between the Lee County NAACP and the Fort Myers Police Department following a deadly officer-involved shooting in December. The NAACP is demanding justice for Christopher Jordan after he was shot and killed by an FMPD officer. They claim that they have new information regarding the case. An anonymous letter sent to the NAACP on Thursday read that on the day of the shooting, Jordan did not have a gun when he was killed by the officer. FMPD claimed that Jordan was armed, threatening to kill his disabled sister at their home on Stella Street. RELATED: Exclusive: Councilman asking for transparency on Christopher Jordan’s death WINK News has not received access to the anonymous letter; however, the NAACP did send out a press release regarding the contents of the letter. “Prove us wrong. We don’t want to be right,” said James Muwakkil, president of the Lee County NAACP. Muwakkil initially expressed trust on behalf of Lee County’s NAACP that investigations into the officer-involved shooting that took Jordan’s life would be thorough and transparent. That’s what they told WINK News since that Dec. 1 night, and they haven’t had that from either FDLE or FMPD. “It appears that they are, FDLE, is going with what FMPD has told and given them,” said Muwakkil. Within the press release, the NAACP stated that members will call the state attorney’s office to register criminal charges against the unidentified officer involved in the shooting. The press release also mentioned that the anonymous letter was sent without a return name or address. “When we got the letter and opened it up and read it we was not surprised of the contents of it,” said Muwakkil. According to a statement from FMPD, when officers arrived at the home on Dec 1., Jordan went inside the house with a gun refusing to come out. FMPD then states that 45 minutes were spent trying to negotiate with Jordan. The statement concludes that Jordan then pointed his gun at officers through a window, which led to the shooting, ultimately killing Jordan. RELATED: Exclusive footage moments before Fort Myers man was shot by police at home “He wasn’t violent you know, he did what he did, but he wasn’t a violent person,” said Angelo Ruth, Jordan’s oldest brother. “Or if they would have called me over there and let me talk to him. They didn’t have to just shoot him because he wouldn’t come out of the room. He was probably scared,” said Ruth. WINK News spoke with his sister, who claimed that she never saw her brother with a gun. The NAACP is set to hold a news conference at noon, Friday, in front of the FMPD headquarters.
