A young man's life was tragically cut short in the fall of 2007. Robert Andrew Tyson, a 24-year-old Black male, was found shot on November 2, 2007, in the 3300 block of Elmora Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland. He was rushed to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries the following day, on November 3, 2007.
Born in Baltimore on January 4, 1983, Robert was a lifelong city resident.
He was educated in the Baltimore City Schools, having graduated from Sinclair Lane Elementary School where he received the Principal's Award for Academic Achievement. He went on to attend Northeast Middle School in the Advanced Academics program.
Online sources and public records do not contain information regarding any arrests or identified suspects in the shooting death of Robert Tyson.

The case is a painful memory for a family that lost a son, and a brother, just ten months after his twenty-fourth birthday.
