Antioch 15-year-old Tyrell Washington was visiting SF’s Bayview District on July 4 to be with friends and family. He was among five people shot at a block party there, and he’s the only one who did not survive.

Tyrell Devon Amir Washington would have turned 16 years old on Friday, and would have started 11th grade next month. But instead, his friends and loved ones will mourn his death. The 15-year-old Antioch resident was among five people who were shot on the evening of July 4 at a Bayview District block party in San Francisco, and KTVU reports that Washington died at the scene of the shooting.

Help Us Honor the Life of Tyrell Devon Amir Washington It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating loss of our beloved Tyrell Devon Amir Washington, who was tragically murdered in Bayview-Hunters Point, San Francisco—just seven days before his 16th birthday. Tyrell was not involved in gangs in any way. He was a bright, loving, and intelligent young man with his whole life ahead of him. He had just received his driver’s permit and a brand new car—something he was so excited about. Tyrell had already earned all of his high school credits and didn’t need to attend summer school. He was focused, motivated, and full of potential. Born and raised in Antioch, California since the age of three, Tyrell grew up surrounded by family and community. He was known for his affectionate nature and deep love for those around him. If you knew Tyrell, you knew how much he loved to laugh, connect with others, and simply enjoy life. Tyrell brought people together he was loving, caring, and so kind to everyone who he became in contact with. On July 4th, Tyrell came to San Francisco to celebrate with family and friends. He was just trying to enjoy the holiday, like any kid would. But his life was senselessly taken from us. We are asking for your support during this heartbreaking time to help cover funeral expenses, memorial arrangements, and to honor Tyrell the way he deserves. Any donation, no matter the size, means the world to our family. Tyrell deserved so much more. He was loved, he was cherished, and he will never be forgotten. Thank you for your prayers, support, and love. Go Fundme in my bio

Washington was apparently in the Bayview to visit his grandmother, who lives there, with a planned evening trip to watch fireworks at a block party on Harbor Road. He attended that evening block party, though gunfire broke out as part of a dispute that Washington apparently had nothing to do with.

"He was at the wrong place at the wrong time and got hit in the crossfire along with other people," his cousin Lakisha Pettus told KTVU. “My cousin didn't deserve that. He was a good kid. To know him was to love him.”

SFPD confirms that five people were shot in the incident, two minors and two adults in addition to Washington. But the 15-year-old Washington is the only victim who did not survive, and was pronounced dead at the scene.

His family has established a GoFundMe for Tyrell Washington’s funeral costs. “He had just received his driver’s permit and a brand new car — something he was so excited about,” the GoFundMe campaign says. “Tyrell had already earned all of his high school credits and didn’t need to attend summer school. He was focused, motivated, and full of potential.”

This was San Francisco's 12th homicide of the year to date.
