Tyler Terrell was 18 when he was shot and killed on June 5, 2020, in Little Rock, Arkansas. Terrell, a recent graduate of Joe T. Robinson High School with a 3.0 GPA, was described by family as a gentle giant who loved football and had a great sense of humor. At about 7:22 p.m. he was driving on North Shackleford Road when shots were fired into his vehicle. He was struck, taken to a local hospital, and later died from his injuries.

Another person in the car was also wounded and treated at a hospital. After the shooting the vehicle Terrell was driving crashed into another car at a nearby dealership; the dealership building was struck by gunfire but no one inside was injured. The Little Rock Police Department collected evidence and Terrell’s body was sent to the Arkansas Crime Lab for autopsy, but no arrests have been announced and authorities have not released a motive or named suspects. Terrell’s family has said they are grieving and frustrated by the lack of answers.

If anyone has information about the shooting on North Shackleford Road that evening, please contact the Little Rock Police Department.
