Tyson Jerome Barnette, 26, was killed while working a postal route in Landover, Maryland, on the evening of November 23, 2013. Barnette, a U.S. Postal Service employee from Upper Marlboro and a Northwestern High School graduate, was found with gunshot wounds in the 1600 block of Reed Street after sunset and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Postal inspectors and Prince George’s County Police investigated by retracing his route, canvassing the neighborhood and distributing fliers. Investigators considered robbery among several possible motives and sought public help identifying a Jeep Grand Cherokee seen on surveillance near the time of the shooting. A reward of $125,000 was offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment.

The case remains unsolved and Barnette’s family and community have held vigils in his memory. If anyone knew Tyson, saw activity in the 1600 block of Reed Street that night, or has information about the Jeep Grand Cherokee, please come forward.
