Uncle and Nephew Murdered in Apparent Murder-Suicide Attempt; Suspect in Critical Condition

On Thursday evening, authorities identified the two victims of a murder-suicide attempt in Santa Ana as 25-year-old Jordan Block and 64-year-old Brian Martin. The niece and uncle were discovered in a unit of a business complex in Santa Ana.

According to police, Block had called 911 after arriving at her uncle’s home to visit him. However, before she could get inside, her boyfriend arrived and ended up stabbing both Block and Martin, resulting in their tragic deaths. Despite police arriving quickly after receiving the call, they discovered the victims already deceased.

People who knew Martin described him as friendly and even taught women’s self-defense classes. His collection of ancient swords was well-known, with one found bloodied outside the garage in the aftermath of the incident. The suspect, Jordan’s boyfriend, was found with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound and was in critical condition as of Friday afternoon. The motive for the attack was still under investigation.
