FLINT — The adventures of Pookie & Ray Ray continue. Law enforcement officials are investigating after 9-year-old Tyhari Knox was Ctrl-Alt-Deleted during a drive-by. The sanguinary ordeal transpired around 2 a.m. on May 8, 2026 at Tyhari’s residence on Altoona Street in Flint, Michigan. According to reports, Tyhari was in her bed sleeping when the gunmen fired more than 100 rounds into the house. Residents originally thought it was a fireworks 🧨 display. “A nine-year-old baby was shot and killed. Nothing else to say after that,” community activist Prince Talley told reporters. “This is sad because it could have been my house. Like, you automatically go to that place in your head. It could have been you. It could have been somebody you know.” There’s no suspects in custody and, because snitches get stitches, nobody’s talking. Police Chief Terence Green is encouraging witnesses to step forward. Bullets are flying left and right in Flint where homicides are up 33 percent from the same time last year.

“If we allow our community to do this and get away with it, it’s going to be a long summer,” Green said during a news conference. Investigators believe Tyhari wasn’t the intended target🎯. A female neighbor released a video claiming the assailants were after her gang bangin’ teen brother. “They were aiming for [the homeowner’s] son,” she said. “I guess they were looking for his stepson. I didn’t even know he was back over there from the other sh*t that went on. That sh*t’s crazy, man. Now his little sister gone.”

Social media reaction was wild.

One commenter wrote, “Damn! You have to be a terrible individual if mothaf*ckas are firing over one hundred rounds into a house because they thought you were there.”

Another person added, “The father knew his stepson was trouble. Should’ve threw his ass out in the street.”
