Tyler Anthony Cole, 26, of Williamsburg, Virginia, was fatally shot on the evening of November 7, 2014, in Ironbound Square Park off Monticello Avenue in James City County. Cole had arranged to meet two people there under the pretense of a drug transaction; the meeting was reportedly a setup for a robbery that escalated and left Cole shot multiple times.

After being wounded, Cole tried to flee in his vehicle but crashed into a home on Carriage Road, waking the homeowner. Emergency crews transported him to Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Tracking dogs were used in the initial search for the shooter but did not locate them.

Investigators later arrested three people in connection with the killing. In March 2015, 22-year-old Wilbert McKenley Walker of Charles City County was arrested and charged with second-degree murder as the alleged getaway driver. Court filings show that the attack was planned as a robbery. Cooperative informants helped lead to arrests of 20-year-old Terrance Andretti Martin Jr. and 18-year-old Jaiquan Keonta Smith; both Martin and Smith were charged with capital murder.

Are there details from the night or the park meeting that someone in the area can add to help clarify what happened?
