Rylo Yancy was killed last year in a drive-by shooting, and his family is now closer to justice after police made an arrest. Jerrold Pough fondly remembers his grandson as “superhero-like” with “a bright ball of energy” and loving attending church services. Pough also fondly remembers him as “a respectful little kid”, adding he was the best child anyone could meet.
Rylo was attending another child’s birthday party at Riverland Park in Fort Lauderdale when the incident occurred on July 21, 2024. Police believe Rylo was shot during a drive-by shooting, and his death has had devastating repercussions for his family, particularly Pough, who expressed his heartache: “They took half of my baby’s face away!”
Fort Lauderdale police announced Monday, eight months after Rylo was fatally shot, that they have arrested Tyler Hollins (20), charged with first-degree murder for her death. This arrest brings an air of relief and progress for his family as they have been searching for answers about this tragic loss of their young loved one. Furthermore, this case has highlighted ongoing violence within communities as well as its long-term ramifications on families; Rylo’s family continues to mourn her tragic passing while remaining hopeful that justice will eventually be delivered in this matter, while mourning their beloved child’s loss.
