Officer Gordon was shot and killed by Prince George County Police in a case of mistaken identity. Officer Gordon was returning home to his residence in Prince George's County, Maryland when he discovered an open window and suspected that a burglar might be inside. As Officer Gordon walked through the house with his gun drawn, a Prince George's County police officer arrived on the scene because a neighbor had reported seeing a suspicious person enter Officer Gordon's home. In a tragic case of mistaken identity, the responding officer shot and killed Officer Gordon when he turned toward him with gun in hand.
Officer Gordon was survived by his daughter.
