Tyrone Thomas, known to friends and family as Tybo, was a 37-year-old laborer and father of three from District Heights, Maryland. His family remembers his laughter and kind heart.

In the early hours of Sunday, August 13, 2023, at about 1:35 a.m., officers responded to a reported shooting in the 3700 block of Donnell Drive in Forestville. Thomas was found outside with gunshot wounds, taken to a hospital, and pronounced dead a short time later. Two other adult men at the scene suffered non-life-threatening gunshot injuries. Investigators concluded the shooter was known to the victims, but a motive remained under investigation.

Police later arrested 34-year-old Devonte Taylor of District Heights and charged him with murder, attempted murder, and related counts. A jury subsequently acquitted Taylor of common law murder, attempted murder, and firearm charges. The homicide remains unsolved and an active investigation. A reward of up to $25,000 is offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment. Anyone with information is asked to call the Homicide Unit at 301-516-2512 or Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477).

Did anyone who knew Tybo or was in Forestville that night see anything that could help investigators?
