In the quiet city of Salisbury, Maryland, a heartbreaking story unfolded on the evening of August 5, 2024. Ten-year-old Tyron Marque Colbert, Jr., a young male, was inside his home on Clay Street with his mother and two other young children when tragedy struck. Around 10:30 p.m., the sound of a gunshot shattered the night, and Tyron was hit.
First responders rushed to the residence, where they found the young boy suffering from a gunshot wound.
He was quickly transported to Tidal Health Medical Center, but despite the efforts of medical staff, Tyron Colbert, Jr. was pronounced dead. The sudden and violent loss of a child sent shockwaves through the community.
The Maryland State Police Homicide Unit has taken the lead in the investigation, with the assistance of the Salisbury Police Department. Authorities have been diligently working the case, conducting interviews with witnesses and residents in the neighborhood and processing evidence from the crime scene. However, the investigation has been met with a significant challenge: the lack of a suspect description.
In an effort to bring justice for Tyron and his family, a substantial reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the individual or individuals responsible for his death. This reward is a collaborative effort by the FBI, the Maryland Department of State Police, and Crime Solvers of the Eastern Shore. The investigation into the death of Tyron Colbert, Jr. remains open and ongoing as authorities continue their search for answers and appeal to the public for any information, no matter how small it may seem. As of now, no arrests have been made in connection with this devastating case.
