On Monday, the Harford County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) announced that they had a man in custody who had been charged with the murder of Tyrell Orlando Polley of Edgewood, Maryland.
On August 2, HCSO patrol deputies responded to the 600 block of Longwood Court in Edgewood for a cardiac arrest. But upon their arrival, deputies found 33-year -old Tyrell Orlando Polley deceased in his residence. Polley had been shot multiple times in the upper body.
Polley lost his eyesight years ago as a result of having suffered another shooting.
Gun violence was no stranger to Polley who had been shot in the head as a 21-year-old near Aberdeen [Maryland] more than a decade ago.
“He was the victim of a past shooting,” Col. William Davis of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office. “I believe it was 2011 where he lost some or all of his eyesight as a result of that.” ~ WMAR-2 News
