Kevis Tyler, a 31-year-old Black man, was fatally shot in Wilmington, Delaware, on the night of April 3, 2019. Officers responded about 9:01 p.m. to the 1400 block of West Third Street in the Hilltop neighborhood after reports of gunfire. Tyler suffered multiple gunshot wounds, nine of which later were recorded in court documents; he was taken to Christiana Hospital where he died.

Investigators recovered 28 spent 9-millimeter cartridge casings and bullet fragments at the scene. Firearms examiners concluded all 28 casings were fired from the same weapon, and prosecutors said the volume of shots and wounds indicated a sustained, deliberate attack. Witness statements and forensic testing eventually focused suspicion on Terrell S. Mobley, and a firearm seized during a separate investigation was forensically linked to the casings from the scene.

A New Castle County grand jury indicted Mobley on February 17, 2020, on charges including first-degree murder and related weapons counts; he was already in custody on other charges at the time. Court proceedings included disputes over the admissibility and scope of firearms-expert testimony and whether certain prior convictions could be used to impeach the accused if he testified.

If anyone has information about that April 3, 2019 shooting or knew Kevis Tyler, please share what is known with investigators.
