On the night of April 17, 2019, a 25-year-old man, Tyler Andrew Mead, was fatally shot in Glendale, Arizona. The incident occurred at approximately 11:37 p.m. in the front yard of a residence located in the 7300 block of West Solano Drive North.
Mead was standing outside when he was approached by two unknown individuals. One of the suspects fired a weapon, striking Mead. The two assailants then fled the scene on foot.
A white Dodge Journey was reportedly waiting for them at the end of the street, which they used as a getaway vehicle. When Glendale police officers arrived at the location following a 'shots fired' call, they found Mead deceased.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, law enforcement officials launched an investigation into the homicide. They appealed to the public for any information that might lead to the identification and apprehension of the suspects. Photographs of a vehicle matching the description of the white Dodge Journey were circulated by the Glendale Police Department in the hopes of generating leads.
Despite these efforts, the case remains unsolved. There have been no public announcements regarding any arrests made in connection with the murder of Tyler Andrew Mead. The identities of the two suspects who approached him that night, and the person driving the getaway car, are still unknown. The motive for the shooting has also not been publicly disclosed. The investigation into his death is considered ongoing.
