According to William Fitzpatrick, the district attorney for Onondaga County, Piquet was not listed on the apartment contract, whereas Tyo and his girlfriend were. However, Toby Shelley, the sheriff of Onondaga County, stated that Piquet had been living in the apartment since July.

The deadly altercation unfolded when Tyo confronted Piquet and demanded that he vacate the property. Tragically, Tyo lost his life during this confrontation as Piquet allegedly stabbed him in the neck.

Immediately after the incident, while Tyo’s girlfriend was asleep, she promptly dialed 911 and reported what she believed to be a gunshot.
