Darrion Deshawn Tyler, an 18-year-old from Fayetteville, North Carolina, died after being shot during a birthday celebration on Gillespie Street on October 16, 2020. An argument at the party escalated into gunfire that injured three people; Tyler was shot multiple times and died at the hospital. Two other victims, Jocephus Jones III, 18, and Destiny Bradford, 22, survived their injuries.

Investigators identified Jamese Herring, 21, of Gillespie Street as the person responsible for the attack. Herring was initially charged with voluntary manslaughter; those charges were later upgraded to first-degree murder for Tyler’s death. He also faced charges of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury for the shootings of Jones and Bradford and was held in the Cumberland County Detention Center without bond.

There are still unanswered questions about what triggered the argument and who else may have relevant information. If anyone has information about that night or the people involved, please share what is known with investigators.
