Tyus Odjarek Burnett was 16 when he was shot to death in the early morning hours of May 31, 2018. A student at Wilson High School in Florence, South Carolina, he was described as a respectful young man with leadership qualities whose life and plans for graduation were cut short when an unknown assailant entered his family’s mobile home and fired several shots.

Florence County investigators opened a homicide investigation and appealed to the public for any information that could identify or locate the person or persons responsible. In the days and weeks that followed, the inquiry continued but no arrests or suspect identifications have been publicly announced. The family and community remain without answers after Tyus’s killing.

If anyone knew Tyus, his movements that night, or has information about who entered the mobile home, please share what you know with investigators.
