A 19-year-old charged with murder in two Jefferson County cities is back on the run after he escaped police custody just hours after he was captured in north Birmingham.

The U.S. Marshal’s Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force and Birmingham police on Wednesday took Eddie Jordan Jr. after a foot chase.

Jordan, who is from Eutaw, was taken by Birmingham police officers to UAB Hospital to be checked out for a possible injury from the foot chase.

It was 9:38 p.m. when authorities say Jordan ran from the hospital in the 1800 block of Sixth Avenue South.

Additional details have not been released.

Multiple law enforcement agencies searched for him throughout the night.

As of 10 a.m. Thursday, Jordan remained at large.

Jordan and Javaris Russell Jr. are charged with capital murder in the Jan. 22 shooting death of 36-year-old Buford Troman “Pete” White in Tarrant.

Jordan is also charged with the Feb. 5 shooting death of 22-year-old Demarious Antwon Cherry in Birmingham’s Kingston community.

U.S. Marshal Marty Keely said the fugitive task force members – in search of Jordan – were conducting surveillance earlier Wednesday on 32nd Place North when they spotted Jordan get into a blue Volkswagen Jetta.

The deputy marshals tried to stop the car in the 2900 block of 21st Avenue North.

The car slowed and Jordan jumped out and ran. He was taken into custody after a brief foot chase.

The female also was captured a short time later.

Keely said two guns were recovered from the vehicle, including one equipped with a machine gun conversion device.

The second gun had been reported stolen.

Tarrant police last week announced the charges against the Jordan and Russell and said they, along with the U.S. Marshals, were actively searching for the suspects.

When Jordan escaped, he was wearing dark grey jeans, grey shoes and no shirt.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts should call 911.
