Tragedy Strikes in Lorain, Ohio: Man, Tyler A. Young Kills Family in Murder-Suicide



A heartbreaking incident occurred in Lorain, Ohio, on Sunday, November 19th, when a man named Tyler A. Young, 29, took the lives of his wife, Skyler Young, 24, their 4-month-old son, Bandin Young, and Skyler's 9-year-old daughter, Angel Isaac, before ending his own life.

The bodies were discovered in the second-floor apartment of the Young family's home after police responded to reports of loose dogs in the area. Skyler's stepsisters have set up a GoFundMe page to help with funeral expenses.

Skyler's friend, Amber Lillo, remembered her as a talented artist who loved to write and draw. Angel was also remembered as a creative individual who adored the color pink and aspired to become a veterinarian. 

Her school, Horizon Science Academy, issued a statement praising her for her "warmth, kindness, and positive spirit."

Tyler had a history of domestic violence, having been arrested in May on strangulation and domestic violence charges. He was released on $10,000 bond.

A grand jury declined to indict Tyler after Skyler recanted some of her allegations against him. However, a temporary protection order had been issued against him.
