Tyler Lord, a 17-year-old from Saint Petersburg, Florida, was shot to death just after midnight on December 17, 2015, in a dark alley along the 1800 block of 16th Street South. He was found dead near his home. Tyler was home-schooled and enjoyed playing basketball; his family said he tried to stay out of trouble and were unsure why he was in the alley at that hour.

Investigators named a person of interest, 27-year-old Drew Allen Reed, and said Reed was present at the scene with a gun when Tyler was killed. Reed is a convicted felon described as having a sleeve tattoo on his right arm, a cross tattoo on his upper left arm, and a 2010 Mazda 3S Hatchback. Police have urged anyone with information to come forward, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains open.

Does anyone who lived in South St. Petersburg in December 2015 remember seeing Tyler that night or recognize the vehicle or the tattoos described?
