Tyyatta Thomas was 23 when she was found dead in her Louisville, Kentucky, apartment on June 23, 2019. The medical cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head. Family members said she had grown more distant in the two months before her death and that in the hours before the shooting she told others she was afraid of a man identified in reports as Jose Rodriguez.

Police arrested 27-year-old Jose Rodriguez and charged him with murder and domestic violence. Investigators reported Thomas and Rodriguez had been friends for about three months, and that his reported wish for a romantic relationship — which Thomas did not return — figured into the case. After the shooting Rodriguez reportedly contacted friends and met them in the apartment building parking lot and spoke about what he had done; he was later held on a one million dollar cash bond.
