An Atlantic County jury has convicted 49 year old Kenneth Creek of Atlantic City, NJ, of first-degree murder, second-degree unlawful possession of a handgun, and second-degree possession of a firearm for an unlawful purpose.
The investigation began on August 25, 2022, when Atlantic City Police Department officers
responded to the South Carolina Apartments Complex at 1300 Baltic Avenue in Atlantic City just
after midnight. Upon arrival, police found Jordan Eaddy, 31, of Philadelphia, deceased in the
grass with two gunshot wounds. Evidence presented at trial, including video footage of the
shooting, showed Creek fire twice at Eaddy as he attempted to flee. The medical examiner
testified that one wound to his back was fatal and resulted in his death. Creek claimed at trial that
he fired in self-defense.
