Overview
- Tyler Johnson, 15, was shot to death in a Westin Southfield hotel room on Feb. 11, 2024.
- Two teens fled after the shooting, while two others were detained; officers say one detained teen carried two guns, one later identified as the murder weapon.
- Investigators documented a .40-caliber casing, a 9mm extended magazine with live rounds, marijuana, psychedelic mushrooms, and a scale inside the room.
- Only a concealed-weapon charge has been filed, as prosecutors maintain they need an eyewitness to connect the evidence to a suspect.
- Police say they cannot re-interview the youths unless they or their attorneys initiate contact, and Crime Stoppers is offering up to $2,500 for tips after the victim’s mother renewed her call for justice.
