In the summer of 2021, the life of 22-year-old Robert Nell Mims-Daniels was cut short by a fatal shooting in Bay Minette, Alabama. On the night of July 20th, police were called to West Ellis Street where they discovered Mims-Daniels suffering from a gunshot wound. He was quickly taken to a local hospital, but his injuries proved to be too severe, and he was pronounced dead.
The Baldwin County Major Crimes Unit was brought in to spearhead the investigation into the young man's death.
Investigators worked tirelessly, following up on numerous leads until a suspect was identified in the shooting. A warrant for murder was issued for 29-year-old Tyler Cardarius McCryndle of Spanish Fort. In the early morning hours of July 24, 2021, McCryndle turned himself in to the authorities. He was subsequently booked into the Baldwin County Corrections Center and held without bond pending a hearing.
During McCryndle's initial court appearance, further details surrounding the tragic event began to emerge. Prosecutors suggested a possible motive, indicating that there had been a previous altercation between McCryndle and Mims-Daniels earlier in the year. It was also revealed that there were two eyewitnesses to the shooting. A judge set McCryndle's bond at $300,000, and if he were to be released, he would be required to wear an ankle monitor and be under house arrest. Despite extensive searches of online sources, no further information regarding a trial, verdict, or conviction in this case has been made publicly available.
