Police told Global News at the time that they did not believe the shooting was a random act and did think Tyler was the target.

Friends told Global News that although he had a difficult past, they were remembering him as the person he had become.

“Everybody makes mistakes. Everybody goes down a bad road at some point in their lives,” said Shelly Landsburg, who grew up with Keizer.

“I wish that I would have had a little more time to be able to see him.”
