A man has been re-arrested in connection with the gunshot death of a young dad in Motherwell.
Jordan Gray, 26, was found dead with fatal firearm wounds at his home in the North Lanarkshire town’s Shields Court on December 14. Police earlier confirmed they were treating the dad-of-one’s death as murder.
A 30-year-old man has been arrested in connection. The man was previously arrested on March 12 but was released pending further inquiries.
He was re-arrested on Tuesday, April 21 following the execution of a warrant. The suspect is due to appear at Hamilton Sheriff Court on Wednesday, April 22.
It comes after Robert Clark appeared at the same court on March 12, charged with Jordan’s murder. Clark, 58, was also charged with possessing a gun in a public place.
He made no plea and was remanded in custody. Forensic officers were seen scouring Jordan’s home at the time of his death.
Cops were pictured combing through bins and drains in the streets looking for clues. Uniformed officers stood on guard at a large cordon set up outside of Jordan’s home. A footpath and two entrances to a block of flats were locked down as officers carried out their investigation.
Floral tributes were laid beside the police cordon in honour of the young father. Claire Kerr, the mother of Jordan’s new-born child, also shared her shock at the tragedy.
At the time of his death, she wrote: “I can’t believe I need to write this but RIP Jordan Gray. We had our ups and downs but we have a beautiful baby boy together that is your absolute image. I promise I will always tell your son all about you and how much you loved him.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “A 30-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the death of Jordan Gray in Motherwell. Jordan, aged 26, suffered fatal firearm wounds within his home in Shields Court in Motherwell shortly after 10.30pm on Sunday, 14 December, 2025.
“The man was previously arrested on 12 March, 2026, and released pending further inquiries. On Tuesday, 21 April, 2026, he was re-arrested following the execution of a warrant and is due to appear at Hamilton Sheriff Court on Wednesday 22 April, 2026.
