Tyler Young, 29, was fatally shot on August 20, 2021, while driving eastbound on Houston’s East Freeway with his two young sons, ages 6 and 8. A white sedan pulled up alongside the family’s SUV and occupants in that vehicle opened fire. Tyler was pronounced dead at the scene; his sons grabbed the steering wheel and managed to steer the SUV to safety off the freeway.

The Houston Police Department is investigating and has not said whether the shooting was road rage or whether Tyler was specifically targeted. Surveillance photos of a vehicle believed connected to the shooting have been released, and Mayor Sylvester Turner announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Tyler was described as a son, brother, husband, and father; he was rebuilding a manufactured home for his family when he was killed, and his brother Cody Young set up a GoFundMe to support the family.

Did anyone in the Houston area see the white sedan or have information about the shooting?
