On Sunday, July 25, 2021, 83-year-old Sarah E. Hylander was found dead inside her home on Midway Road in Terry, Mississippi, the victim of gun violence. Her 60-year-old son, David Hylander, was also found deceased at the scene; both had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Hinds County sheriff’s deputies made the discovery while conducting a welfare check.

Investigators quickly identified a family member, Harry Hylander, as the primary suspect and took him into custody at a hotel in Clinton, Mississippi, shortly after the bodies were found. At the time of arrest, he was reportedly carrying a large amount of cash believed to have come from Sarah Hylander. Reports say Harry confessed the killings to another family member and that an altercation between him and David had occurred a day or so before the shootings.

If anyone knew Sarah or David, or has information about the events leading up to July 25, 2021, please come forward with what you remember.
