Tyson Laquay Patterson, a 33-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on August 28, 2014, at an apartment building on South Green Street at Garfield Drive in Longview, Texas. The shooting happened during an altercation that also left another man injured. The surviving victim said a man accompanied by three women arrived, and one of the women, named as Latoddra Quenice Pratt, opened the front door while two people entered and fired on Patterson and the other man.

Latoddra Quenice Pratt, then 27, was arrested in Dallas in 2019 after a traffic stop and charged in connection with the 2014 shooting. While held in the Gregg County Jail awaiting trial, Pratt suffered a medical emergency, was found unresponsive in her cell, and died after being taken to a local hospital. Investigators reported no obvious signs of foul play and said her death was likely from natural causes or illness; she had documented hypertension, obesity, depression, and anxiety and was receiving treatment in custody. The Texas Rangers are investigating Pratt’s death and legal proceedings related to the 2014 shooting remain open.

If anyone knew Patterson, the other victim, or saw activity at the South Green Street apartments on August 28, 2014, are there details that could clarify who entered the building and what happened that night?
