Jordan Gray killing: Second man in court charged with murder after fatal shooting of Motherwell father

A second man has appeared in court charged with murder after a young father was shot dead last year.

Jordan Gray, 26, suffered fatal firearm wounds in his home in Shields Court, Motherwell, on the evening of 14 December 2025.

His body was discovered the following day.

Nathan Gordon, 30, was previously arrested on 12 March in connection with the incident and released pending further enquiries.

He was re-arrested following the execution of a warrant on Tuesday and appeared before Hamilton Sheriff Court on Wednesday.

Gordon, of Motherwell in North Lanarkshire, made no plea to the single charge of murder.

The suspect was remanded in custody and is due back in the dock within the next eight days.

Co-accused Robert Clark, 58, appeared before the same court last month and is facing charges of murder and carrying a firearm in a public place.

Clark made no plea at the time and was remanded in custody.

The major Police Scotland investigation - dubbed Operation Arvia - saw Crimestoppers offer a reward of up to £20,000 for any information that could help solve the shooting.

At a police news conference in January, Mr Gray's mother, Lynn Gray, and stepfather, Michael Groome, said they were "devastated" over their loss.

Mr Groome added: "Jordan's baby will have to grow up without knowing how much his dad loved him."
