Rysheed Jordan Arrested: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction

Former St. John's guard Rysheed Jordan was arrested Wednesday in North Philadelphia on multiple charges, including attempted murder and robbery.  

WPVI-TV reported on Jordan's alleged connection to the shooting, which occurred May 27 on the 2400 block of Diamond Street. According to police, Jordan, 21, and two other people met with three men to sell a cellphone, arranging the meeting over Facebook.

Per the report, Jordan allegedly shot one of the three men in the arm. Later, when police confronted him, Jordan allegedly tried to flee on foot but was ultimately apprehended and taken into custody around 2 a.m. ET Wednesday.

Jordan left St. John's last year after two seasons but wasn't eligible for the 2015 NBA draft.

As the New York Post's Zach Braziller reported amid Jordan's departure from the Red Storm, he was ruled academically ineligible for the first semester of his prospective junior season. Jordan had been the squad's No. 2 scorer at 14.1 points per game as a sophomore.

Per RealGM.com, he played in the D-League for the Delaware 87ers in 2015-16, averaging just over eight points per contest in 11 games.
