Tyran Carter was 17 when he was found dead from a gunshot wound in the backyard of a family friend’s home in Wichita, Kansas, in the early hours of Sunday, March 25, 2018. He was described as athletic and outgoing, with family and friends remembering him as loving and, some said, NFL-bound. The shooting followed an altercation; the specifics of that dispute have not been made public.

The Wichita Police Department investigated and a teenager was taken into custody in connection with Tyran’s death. Authorities did not release the suspect’s name, and further details about charges and the legal case have remained confidential. Tyran’s family and the Wichita community continue to mourn a young life cut short.
