Tyler Ty Grayson Carter was 17 when he was found shot to death at a Garden City gas station on September 22, 2020. A senior at Islands High School, he wrestled and played lacrosse, was enrolled in dual credit courses at Savannah Technical College, and worked at Fannie’s on Tybee. The killing devastated his family, teammates and the wider community.

The Garden City Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation jointly handled the inquiry. Four months after the shooting authorities identified 20-year-old Stanley Jivens of Garden City as the primary suspect and sought him on murder warrants; he was reportedly last seen near 2nd and Oak streets in Garden City. Later court records show he was apprehended and charged, with legal proceedings pending.

Anyone who knew Tyler, his routines, or who has information about the case is urged to come forward.
