Robert Tyrrell Jr., 37, was shot and killed by his father, Robert Tyrrell Sr., on April 4, 2018, at the family home in the Marianna Villas in The Villages, Florida. The shooting happened during a visit by Robert Jr. to his parents’ home. The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office investigated and determined Robert Sr. would not face charges, concluding the shooting was an act of self-defense.

In 2010, while the family lived in Villa Rica, Georgia, he was charged with aggravated assault and false imprisonment after reportedly holding his mother, Billie Jo Tyrrell, at gunpoint during a domestic dispute. That prior incident is presented in the case narrative as part of the background leading up to the fatal confrontation in 2018.

Anyone with memories of the family or additional information about the events leading to April 4, 2018, is asked to come forward.
