Marvin Johnson decides to accompany his twin brother, Tyler, to a party to keep an eye on him. What begins as an innocent evening quickly turns into a tragic shooting and a police raid. The next morning, Tyler is found missing, and Marvin does everything he can to find him. When Tyler is found dead and the police blame the shooting, however, a video surfaces online that tells an even more horrifying story: Tyler has been shot by a police officer. While his mother threatens to collapse with grief and Marvin mourns the loss of his brother, who now seems to be nothing more than a hashtag, he does everything he can to discover the true meaning of justice and freedom. This novel, similar to the bestseller "The Hate U Give," fills the need for realistic stories about race relations in America. "Tyler Johnson Was Here" offers a significant contribution to the conversation about race and police brutality in the US. The debut author, a 21-year-old activist, powerfully represents the voice of today's youth.
