Nineteen-year-old Tyrone Sanford was fatally shot while walking home the night of Monday, October 19, 2015, in the 300 block of Treasury Drive in Avondale, Louisiana. He was a student at L.W. Higgins High School in Marrero and was remembered by family and friends as popular and friendly, with hopes of becoming a ball player or an entertainer. His large family includes his mother, father, and thirteen siblings.

The killing occurred during a week that also saw another teen from the same high school die in a separate incident, deepening grief across the West Bank community. Family, friends, and neighbors held a candlelight vigil after his death. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office investigated, but no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified.

Does anyone who knew Tyrone or who was in Avondale on October 19, 2015, have information that could help bring answers?
