On May 6, 2022, 18-year-old Tyshaunda Riles was fatally shot in New Orleans. Known to family and friends as Tyddy, she was described as passionate about fashion, hair, and makeup and was beloved by a large circle of relatives and peers.

Reports indicate the shooting arose from a domestic dispute and that her boyfriend at the time, Shawn May, was identified as the person responsible. Tyshaunda’s mother had already suffered the earlier loss of another child to gun violence two years before Tyshaunda’s death, compounding the family’s grief.

The killing ended a young life that mattered to many. If anyone knew Tyshaunda, her routines, or has information about the events of May 6, 2022, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
