Jordan Jefferson, 30, of Robbinsdale, was sentenced to 30 years in prison after a jury found him guilty of second-degree murder and two aggravating factors in the death of his girlfriend, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office announced Thursday.

Jefferson was sentenced Wednesday for running over and killing his girlfriend with her vehicle in May 2020 after physically assaulting her inside the vehicle. In addition to the second-degree murder conviction, Jefferson was also convicted of two counts of felony domestic assault for assaulting his girlfriend and another female victim.

At sentencing, Judge Martha A. Holton Dimick agreed with the jury’s finding of aggravating factors and concluded that the victim was treated with particular cruelty involving a gratuitous infliction of pain, and cruelty and indifference to human life. This resulted in Jefferson receiving a sentence of 360 months in prison, which went above the sentencing guidelines.

Also at the sentencing, Jefferson admitted to killing his girlfriend. However, during the trial, Jefferson testified and adamantly denied he murdered the victim. During his testimony at trial, Jefferson not only denied running over the victim with her vehicle but blamed his best friend for the victim’s death. The judge informed Jefferson that she found his attempt to accept responsibility and show remorse only after being convicted by the jury as manipulative and insincere.

Victim impact statements were also read by the victim’s grandmother, mother, and aunt. All of which expressed extreme sorrow for the loss of their loved one.
