Tyquan Quan Ham was 16 when he was shot and killed in Miami, Florida, on the night of September 1, 2017. A student at Miami Jackson Senior High School and a member of the football team who wore number 55, Tyquan was described as respectful and athletic. He was near his home in Northwest Miami‑Dade, around the Lillie C. Evans K‑8 Center, when shots rang out around 10 p.m.; his aunt said he had been sitting outside his home. The assailants fled and no suspects or motive had been identified.

Miami‑Dade police canvassed the neighborhood and appealed to the public for help. Tyquan’s family remembered him for his dream chasing posts on social media, his plans to graduate in 2019 and pursue a college scholarship, and his close bond with his baby nephew, TJ. Anyone who was in that area on the night of September 1, 2017, or who has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
