Darryl Dewayne Bliss Washington, 25, of Tyler, Texas, was fatally shot on November 13, 2017, at the Chelsea Creek Apartments. The shooting also wounded two other Tyler residents, Terry Demond Rogers and Nadarius Houston, and has been described as connected to narcotic activity.

Christopher Hardy, 24, of Tyler, was arrested in connection with the shooting and originally faced capital murder charges. Those capital murder charges were later dropped after significant changes occurred in key witness statements. The Tyler Police Department has continued the investigation, and the Smith County District Attorney’s office has stated a commitment to seeking justice for Washington’s family.

Washington’s funeral was held at True Light MBC and he was buried at Evergreen Memorial Park Cemetery in Tyler. Does anyone have information about the incident at Chelsea Creek Apartments or the people involved that could help move this case forward?
