Tyreke Summage

Age 18

Conway, Arkansas

His birthday was 24 days away

The 18-year-old had two children, one boy and one girl. He was a hero to them and “knew exactly the type of father he wanted to be.”

On the basketball court, his jersey was number 30. He loved the sports and played on the varsity team for Tuckerman High School.

On Dec. 27, 2018, Tyreke Summage, 18, and two others allegedly fired shots at three men inside an apartment complex in Conway, Arkansas. One of the men shot back, hitting Summage. He was taken to a local hospital, where he died. In just 24 days, he would have turned 19.
