In August 2023, Tyrice Jacquett was killed at a homeless encampment along state Route 94 near North Avenue.

Authorities reached out to the public Tuesday for help identifying and tracking down the killer or killers of a homeless man who was fatally stabbed two summers ago in a makeshift encampment alongside state Route 94.
