Family and Friends Seek Justice After Jordon Cassell’s Killing Outside Outlaws Motorcycle Club in Newton

Newton, NC – Two months have passed since 32-year-old Jordon Cassell was shot and killed outside the Outlaws Motorcycle Club in Newton, North Carolina, and still, his family and friends are left with more questions than answers. As the investigation stretches on, the grief-stricken community continues to search for justice, refusing to let his memory fade or his death go unanswered.

The deadly shooting occurred on the night of June 8, just outside the clubhouse located on Southwest Boulevard, a site that has previously drawn police attention but rarely resulted in violence of this magnitude. Authorities responded to calls of gunfire at the location and found Cassell with gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Since that night, the Newton Police Department has been working alongside state investigators to determine what led to the fatal shooting. However, no arrests have been made, and officials have remained tight-lipped about potential suspects or motives.

Cassell’s family, meanwhile, is grappling with the trauma of losing a beloved son, brother, and friend. Described by those close to him as a warm-hearted, hardworking man with a quiet strength and a deep love for his family, Jordon’s death has left a hole in their lives that grows more painful each day without answers.

“He didn’t deserve this,” said one family member. “We just want to know what happened. We want justice. Someone knows something.”

Friends have echoed the call for transparency and progress in the investigation, noting that the longer the case remains unsolved, the harder it becomes to heal. In the weeks following the shooting, loved ones have held vigils, shared memories on social media, and circulated Jordon’s story in hopes of encouraging witnesses to come forward.

According to police, the night of June 8 saw several individuals present at or near the Outlaws clubhouse. Investigators believe there are people who may have seen or heard what happened but have not yet spoken up—possibly out of fear or loyalty.

The Newton Police Department has urged anyone with information, no matter how small, to contact them directly or submit anonymous tips through local Crime Stoppers. “This was a tragic loss of life, and we are committed to finding out who is responsible,” said a department spokesperson. “We need the community’s help to bring justice to Mr. Cassell’s family.”

Complicating the case is the outlaw motorcycle club’s longstanding reputation for secrecy. While not all members are suspected of wrongdoing, law enforcement agencies nationwide have historically described some chapters of such clubs as operating outside the law, and investigations involving them can be difficult due to a lack of cooperation and witness intimidation.

Despite these obstacles, Jordon’s loved ones remain steadfast. His mother has been vocal on social media, calling for continued awareness and asking the public not to let her son’s name be forgotten.

“This was a young man with a future,” she wrote. “He was not perfect—none of us are—but he was kind, loyal, and loved by so many. His life mattered.”

Community leaders in Newton have also acknowledged the tragedy and the growing frustration over the lack of closure. Some are calling for increased oversight of high-risk venues and gathering spots, as well as expanded support for families impacted by unsolved violent crimes.

A reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest, and advocacy groups are encouraging anyone with relevant knowledge to come forward.

As the investigation enters another month, the message from Jordon Cassell’s family remains clear: justice delayed is justice denied.

Anyone with information regarding the case is urged to contact the Newton Police Department or submit anonymous tips to Catawba County Crime Stoppers at 828-465-4357.
