Authorities reported that the incident took place at their family lake house in Texas, where Tyler was found deceased under circumstances that raised alarms. Initial investigations revealed that Tyler’s body bore ‘burned marks’, which prompted law enforcement’s immediate involvement. According to an arrest warrant, after the incident, Michael Howard allegedly attempted to conceal evidence by cremating his son’s remains, leading prosecutors to charge him with tampering with evidence and making a false statement to a police officer. Howard claimed that he shot Tyler in self-defense during a confrontation; however, police found inconsistencies in his statements. Additionally, he stated that he did not act with intent to kill his son, calling the event a tragic mistake. Friends of the family expressed shock at the incident, noting Tyler’s vibrant personality and their struggles with understanding the tragedy. The court has scheduled a preliminary hearing at a later date, and Michael Howard is currently out on bond, awaiting the next steps in a legal process that will undoubtedly captivate the local community and beyond.
