In the early morning hours of May 8, 2026, 9-year-old Tyhari Knox was killed when multiple shooters fired more than 200 rounds into her family’s home on Altoona Street in Flint, Michigan. Tyhari was asleep in her bed when she was struck and fatally wounded. Her 12-year-old sister, Allison Galloway, was critically injured with multiple gunshot wounds to the leg.

Investigators say the volume of firepower and the scene pointed to a coordinated, targeted attack. Police believe the shooters were aiming at another occupant of the house; Tyhari’s parents, TyRaye Knox and Alexis Smith, have said they think their teenage son may have been the intended target. As of late May 2026 the Flint Police Department lists the murder as an active, high-priority investigation. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests or charges have been announced.

The community has held vigils and the family has made public pleas for information and for an end to gun violence. If anyone has information about the shooting on Altoona Street, can you help investigators bring answers for Tyhari’s family?
