Richard Tyler Corbin, called Tyler by family and friends, was 17 when he was shot at a home in Springfield, Missouri, on December 18, 2020. Responding officers found him with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital and died later that day.

A 16-year-old female present at the scene told police she fired the shot. Investigators treated the incident as an apparent accidental shooting and did not make an arrest at the time; the inquiry remained active and police asked anyone with information to come forward.

Tyler was remembered as community-minded and musically talented — a trumpet player who ran cross country, played football, enjoyed rock climbing, and volunteered in local food drives. Who has information about that December day or Tyler’s last hours that could help the ongoing investigation?
