On October 7, 2017, deputies in Springfield, Missouri, found 28-year-old Tyler Jay Rambo dead of a gunshot wound at a mobile home park southwest of the city. Investigators described the killing as a drive-by shooting at a residence where Rambo had been present; police said the violence followed a dispute over money tied to drug-related debts.

In the days after the homicide two people were arrested and charged in connection with the shooting: a 24-year-old man from California charged with first-degree murder and a 24-year-old woman charged with second-degree murder. A probable cause statement reported the male suspect admitted the shooting resulted from unpaid debts he believed Rambo owed him.

Rambo, born in July 1989, lived in Springfield and is survived by a young son, his parents and other family. His family remembered his love of camping, fishing and caving and held a visitation after the autopsy and initial investigation.

Does anyone who knew Tyler or who was in the mobile home park that night have information to share?
