At the time, the couple didn't know that the driver, Dangelo Dorsey, 29, had just committed a series of deadly crimes nearby, authorities said. Dorsey had opened fire inside a moving vehicle, killing one person and wounding another, before jumping out of the car as traffic slowed down, said David Rausch, director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. While attempting to carjack a different vehicle, he had allegedly shot a woman in the hand then exchanged words with a truck driver before shooting him in the face. The Stevens were unaware. They pulled over after he rammed into their car, and their hours-long nightmare began."They stopped, believing it to be a fender-bender, and — at that point — Dorsey took them hostage at gunpoint," the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said. By the time the ordeal ended later that afternoon, Jordan Stevens, 23, was dead along with Darcey Johnson, 28, the man in the initial moving car. Four others were injured, including Aileen Stevens.
Suspect forced them to drive to their house
Aileen Stevens, 23, is a kindergarten teacher and is four months pregnant with their first child — a daughter. Her husband was working hard at his construction job to provide for his growing family, said her brother, Eliezer Rostran. The high school sweethearts would go to church together, then spend time with family afterward. Aileen Stevens' mother attends the same church and got worried when she didn't see them that morning. "That's how she knew something was wrong," Rostran said. After Dorsey took the couple hostage, he forced them to drive to their home in Morrison, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said. While there, he allegedly stole two of their guns, swapped vehicles into a Toyota RAV4 and forced them into the vehicle with him. Morrison is about 80 miles southeast of Nashville. At some point, he took the couple to a location in the nearby McMinnville area and fatally shot Jordan Stevens in front of his wife, authorities said. Then he forced Aileen Stevens back into the SUV and returned to the interstate, the TBI said. Jordan Stevens' body was later recovered along Interstate 24 westbound, near Exit 111-B, Rausch said in a statement. Law enforcement from multiple agencies were working to find the SUV, and located it shortly after 3:30 p.m., leading to a pursuit that reached speeds of over 100 mph.The SUV crashed and flipped 15 minutes later, authorities said. "At that point, Dorsey took his own life. The female hostage was safely recovered," Rausch said.
Couple prayed for him during ordeal, brother says
During the long and terrifying ordeal, the couple prayed for the suspect while in the vehicle, Rostran said. "He was going to release them, he asked, 'Would you pray for me?' They prayed, Jordan prayed … Some people don't care about God, but God is good, and is always faithful," Rostran said. After spending a few days in the hospital, Aileen Stevens is now at home recuperating surrounded by her family. She's heartbroken but is trying to stay strong for her baby. The random act of violence changed their lives forever, her brother said, but they're focused on her healing. She's holding on to her faith, her family said, and especially the Bible verse Romans 8:28. It says: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Jordan Stevens will be laid to rest on Friday at 1 p.m. Visitation will be held at 10 a.m. at the First Baptist Church of McMinnville. A Read More – Source
