Do you know who murdered 33 year old Timothy Scott in 2012? Timothy Tyrone Scott, a 33-year-old Black man, was in Kokomo, Indiana, on the night everything ended—away from home in Stone Mountain, Georgia, and spending time at a place he was simply visiting.
On June 12, 2012, the quiet of the 900 block of East Broadway Street was broken when Scott was found in the front yard of that home, shot in the torso and head.
What should have been an ordinary stop became a crime scene, the kind that draws neighbors to windows and leaves a block feeling suddenly smaller and unsafe.
In the days that followed, the shooting hardened into a cold-case kind of silence. The Kokomo Police Department later listed Scott's killing among the area's unsolved homicides, and public summaries of the case have continued to describe it as unsolved—no named suspect, no announced arrest, and no publicly reported charges tied to his death.
As his family prepared to lay him to rest, the life behind the headline came into view: funeral services were held in Fort Valley, Georgia, and those closest to him mourned a father and son taken too soon, remembered by parents, siblings, and four children.
