Tyler Evans was 25 when he was fatally shot in the head on August 19, 2014. His body was found the next day in an undeveloped neighborhood off Gulf Beach Highway in Pensacola, Florida, and his vehicle was later recovered in the Ensley area. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation and pursued witness testimony and forensic leads.

Investigators identified 23-year-old Tony James Leamon Stroud Jr. as a suspect and arrested him on a charge of first-degree premeditated murder. An Escambia County Grand Jury later indicted Stroud, and prosecutors presented DNA evidence and witness testimony tied to the crime scene during the legal proceedings. The case attracted intensive work from the sheriff’s Major Crimes investigators.

If anyone knew Tyler Evans, saw him in Pensacola in August 2014, or has information about the events around Gulf Beach Highway or Ensley, please come forward with what was seen or heard that week.
