Tyheem Shabazz Person, a 27-year-old African American male, was tragically killed on March 14, 2018, in Henderson, North Carolina. The incident occurred at 227 Harrell Street, where Tyheem and another victim, Dyrel Jermal Kittrell, 28, were found dead from gunshot wounds. A third individual, Devonte Jamal Jones, 21, was also injured in the shooting and taken to a local hospital for treatment.
The investigation into the deaths of Tyheem Shabazz Person and Dyrel Jermal Kittrell revealed that the shooting was part of a series of violent incidents in Henderson during that period. The police responded to the scene and found the victims shortly after the shooting occurred. Tyheem Shabazz Person lived at the residence where the shooting took place, while the other two victims were also from Henderson.
After nearly a year of investigation, authorities charged Antarious Harrington, a 23-year-old male, with the murders of Tyheem Shabazz Person, Dyrel Jermal Kittrell, and the attempted murder of Devonte Jamal Jones.
