Tylan Mikel Glenn

Age 17

Louisville, Mississippi

They used to call him Ty

Saturday night, his mother would never hear him come in through the door of their home again. The following Monday, he left an empty chair in each one of his classes at Louisville High School. His cousin would never laugh at another one of his jokes.

On March 24, 2018, Tylan Mikel Glenn, 16, was sitting in the passenger seat of a car when he was shot multiple times in Louisville, Mississippi. His killer used a 9mm handgun; law enforcement said they believe the shooting was not random.
