PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — Shaquana Jordan was five weeks pregnant when she was killed a week ago in Portsmouth, with the father of her other two children accused of pulling the trigger.

Now, Jordan’s family is speaking to 10 On Your Side about this devastating loss as they are focused on getting swift justice and holding her sister’s accused killer accountable.

Shaquana Jordan’s older sister, Jasmine Jordan, says this past week has been extremely hard on the family.

“I will always remember Shaquana as a loving caring person, she would give the shirt off her back,” Jasmine Jordan said. “She always wanted to laugh and have fun, never negative, never mean, never nasty.”

Police say Shaquana Jordan was gunned down last week by Hasheed Mills. Her sister says Shaquana Jordan was married to Mills, but had been trying to leave.

“I’ve always heard rumors, hearsay, I’ve never been around it or seen it with my own eyes,” Jasmine Jordan said. “I have always told my sister that she should love herself and not let anyone manipulate her clearly what has been done, my sister has caught charges, and she was scared.”

Now, Shaquana Jordan’s family is looking for justice. Mills has a lengthy criminal record, and according to her sister, he has made deals with Portsmouth prosecutors in the past to get reduced sentences for his charges, something the family fears could happen again.

“My sister deserves a prosecutor that will be determined and dedicated to serving her justice,” Jasmine Jordan said.

For now, she has this to say to anyone who finds themselves in a violent relationship.

“I’m always going to give encouraging words and that’s get away if you can.”

Mills is still in jail facing several charges, including aggravated murder of a pregnant woman, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, abuse of a child causing serious injury, shooting in the commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a felon. Shaquana Jordan’s family says funeral services are pending.

In a statement from the Portsmouth Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney, it said that it is “fully committed to finding justice” for Shaquana Jordan and her family.

The Portsmouth Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office is fully committed to finding justice for Ms. Shaquana Jordan and her family. Hasheed Mills has a lengthy criminal history in Portsmouth but has never received or been presented with any deals from this office to reduce a sentence.  The family of Ms. Jordan can rest assured that this office will diligently and vigorously prosecute this matter in collaboration with our law enforcement partners. The Portsmouth Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office would like to express our sincerest condolences to the family of Ms. Shaquana Jordan, with whom our thoughts will remain.
