In the winter of 2016, just two weeks after celebrating his 17th birthday, Tyhir Berry's life was tragically cut short. A resident of North 20th Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the young man was killed on December 12, 2016. His death is listed by the Philadelphia Police Department as an unsolved homicide, leaving a void in the lives of those who knew him.
Remembered as a smart, respectful, and helpful teenager, Tyhir was deeply loved by his family.
He had a passion for basketball and a strong bond with his relatives. A family member described him as an average 17-year-old who was not in any trouble, making his sudden death all the more devastating. The profound sense of loss is palpable in their words, expressing a feeling of being 'completely empty and lost' without him.
The investigation into Tyhir Berry's death remains open. At present, there has been no public identification of any suspects, and no arrests have been made in connection with the case. The family continues to hope for justice for a life they feel was taken far too soon.
