Tyreyon Garner was 22 when he was shot and killed outside an apartment complex on Chloe Drive in Hammond, Louisiana, on December 5, 2018. Deputies found him unresponsive on the lawn with fatal gunshot wounds after reports of gunfire.

Investigators identified 36-year-old Christopher Orlando Bell Sr. as the primary suspect. Eyewitnesses said Bell arrived in a silver vehicle, opened fire and fled. The shooting was described as domestic in motive: Bell’s ex-girlfriend had recently begun a relationship with Garner, and Bell confronted the pair. Garner attempted to flee before being shot.

Bell turned himself in to the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office two days later and admitted his role during questioning. He was booked into the parish jail. In June 2021 Bell pleaded no contest to manslaughter and to fraudulent firearm/ammunition purchase; the firearm had been bought illegally through a third party and Bell was later sentenced to 45 years.
