On December 13, 2019, 19-year-old Tymarian Tiller, a senior at Clintondale High School, was fatally shot in Detroit after a dispute at a party store on East Lafayette Street. Tiller ran into the nearby King Apartments to get away, but when he came back out the assailant was waiting and fired multiple shots. His mother, Markeila Parker, received word about ten minutes after he left home and was later told at Detroit Receiving Hospital that he had died.

Detroit police released images of a person of interest and the community raised funds to help with funeral expenses. In February 2020, 22-year-old Delmahn Alford of Detroit was arrested in Marion County, West Virginia, on unrelated drug charges; West Virginia authorities said Alford was a person of interest in Tiller’s homicide and were in contact with Detroit police. Detroit officials said Alford had not yet been charged in Tiller’s death. Are there witnesses or anyone with information about the incident at the party store or the King Apartments who can help?
