Nathan Gordon has made his second court appearance over the shotgun killing of young Scots dad Jordan Gray.

The 30-year-old, who was in the British Army, appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court to be fully committed for trial.

Gordon, of Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, made no plea to the single charge of murder he faces and was remanded in custody.

No future court dates have been set, but he is expected to go on trial over the claims at some point next year.

Gordon made his first court appearance last week over the killing, which took place at 26-year-old Jordan's home.

Jordan was shot dead at his flat in Shields Court, Motherwell, after 10.30pm on Sunday, December 14, 2025.

Police Scotland revealed Gordon's arrest in a statement last Tuesday. It read: "A 30-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the death of Jordan Gray in Motherwell.

"Jordan, aged 26, suffered fatal firearm wounds within his home in Shields Court in Motherwell shortly after 10.30pm on Sunday, 14 December, 2025.

"The man was previously arrested on 12 March, 2026, and released pending further enquiries.

"On Tuesday, 21 April, 2026, he was re-arrested following the execution of a warrant and is due to appear at Hamilton Sheriff Court on Wednesday 22 April, 2026.

"A 58-year-old man was also arrested and charged last month in connection and appeared at court on Thursday, 12 March."

Robert Clark appeared in the dock at Hamilton Sheriff Court twice in March over the killing of Jordan.

A police investigation was launched and Clark was arrested three months into the death probe.

The 58-year-old was charged with murder and possession of a shotgun, made no plea during his hearings and was remanded in custody.
