On the night of January 31, 2018, 19-year-old Duane Tyson Jr., a Black male and father to a young son, was fatally shot in the chest during a burst of gunfire on Kent’s East Hill. The shooting happened around 10 p.m. in the 10800 block of Southeast 240th Street; two other 17-year-old males were wounded in the same incident, one by gunfire and another struck by a fleeing vehicle while trying to flee.

Investigators treated the incident as possibly gang-related and reviewed footage from a nearby portable police surveillance camera. Police searched for a blue Dodge Charger believed to be linked to the gunman, but no arrests were announced and no suspects were publicly identified. Duane’s mother, Patrice Thomas, had lost another child, Che Re onna Thomas (also spelled Che'Reonna Thomas), to a shooting seven months earlier, and the family was left reeling while planning Duane’s funeral.

Does anyone have information about that night or the blue Dodge Charger that could help bring answers to the family?
