Affidavit: Teenage aunt allegedly killed Jordan Vong after he asked her to play video games
DENVER — Newly released court documents in the Jordan Vong case are shedding new light into the events that led to the 7-year-old boy’s death.
According to probable cause statement obtained by Denver7, the 16-year-old girl accused of killing her nephew told police she pushed Jordan off her bed after he refused to move and amid a crying fit and “placed her hand over Jordan's mouth and plugged his nose as Jordan began to struggle for a few minutes."
According to the document, the teenage suspect told police that on Aug. 6 Vong went down to her basement bedroom and asked her to play video games with him. When she refused, the boy became upset and laid down on her bed, the document read. She said this made her angry, which caused her to push the boy off her bed “causing him to strike his face on the floor,” the statement read.
The document said after Jordan stopped moving, the girl told police she put the body underneath her bed before removing it, wrapping it in a blanket and placing it in a portable closet in her room.
She told investigators that she did not say a word to family members about what she allegedly did or where the body was hidden. Vong’s body was found by authorities in the portable closet Tuesday evening amid the execution of a search warrant.

Important to note that although Auntie "charged" as an adult, does not mean she will be "tried" as an adult. A request for reverse transfer hearing could happen sending case to juvenile court for judge to decide.
