Tyrer Pearson

Tyrer Pearson was a 51-year-old Black man known to friends and family as the "life of the party." Remembered as a "cool sweet brother" who always kept it real, he was a family man with three children and a grandchild. Those who loved him, who sometimes called him "Teezy" or "TY," said that life would never be the same without him.

On the night of the Fourth of July in 2024, his life was cut short in Dallas, Texas. At approximately 11:25 p.m., Dallas Police responded to a call from Dallas Fire-Rescue at an apartment complex on the northbound service road of the 7800 block of Marvin D. Love Freeway. When officers arrived, they found Tyrer Pearson in a breezeway of the building. He had been shot and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Dallas Police Department began a homicide investigation, documented under case number 102883-2024. In the initial phase of the investigation, detectives asked for anyone with information to come forward and contact Detective Phillip Wheeler. For months, the case remained ongoing as authorities worked to identify the person responsible for Mr. Pearson's death.

The investigation eventually led authorities to a suspect hundreds of miles away. On November 15, 2024, the Delaware State Police arrested 27-year-old Kelvin Bowen. He was taken into custody and charged with murder in connection with Tyrer Pearson's killing. As of November 2024, Bowen was pending extradition back to Texas to face the charge.
