On April 12, 2019, 16-year-old Tylon Vail was shot and killed inside his grandmother’s home in the 2000 block of East Harrison in West Memphis, Arkansas. He was in the house playing a video game when gunfire from outside struck the residence; one round pierced the wall and fatally wounded Tylon. He was an honor roll student and a basketball player at West Junior High School, remembered by family and peers as well liked. His family and investigators say he was not the intended target but an innocent victim caught in the crossfire.

The West Memphis Police Department investigated the shooting and on June 26, 2019, arrested 26-year-old Terry Stewart, charging him with first-degree murder and 13 counts of committing a terroristic act related to the incident. What details about motive or the events leading up to the shooting are still missing for readers who might have witnessed activity in that neighborhood that night?
