Tajour Tye, an 18-year-old from Sandusky, Ohio, was shot on Erie Street around 2:15 a.m. on June 13, 2021 and later died at a hospital. Police were called to the scene shortly after the shooting.

Three people were taken into custody and questioned following the incident: 18-year-old Jacob Owens, 19-year-old Timothy Hill, and a 16-year-old from Penns Grove, New Jersey. All three were charged with complicity to murder and were held in Erie County facilities. Authorities say the suspects knew Tajour and that the shooting followed a fight.

Tajour had just graduated from Sandusky High School, was active with the Sandusky Boys and Girls Club and New Jerusalem Baptist Church, and enjoyed music and time with his family and baby sister. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the Sandusky Police Department.
