Floyd Tigney was 22 when he was found dead in a Paterson, New Jersey home on September 18, 2016. The body displayed what at first appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and initial reports treated the death as a suicide. Subsequent investigation changed that conclusion: authorities later reclassified Tigney’s death as a homicide after determining another person was involved.

Paterson police charged 23-year-old Mickel Morgan, a Paterson resident who lived in the same home and was described as an acquaintance of Tigney, with murder and two weapons counts. Morgan was already in the Bergen County Jail on an unrelated weapons charge when the murder charges were filed. No additional forensic details explaining why the death was reclassified have been released.

If anyone knew Floyd Tigney, his movements in Paterson, or has information about the people who were in that home on September 18, 2016, please come forward.
