TYLER — Tyler Police responded to a reported aggravated robbery and kidnapping. It was reported shortly before 2:00 Monday morning. Officers say a Hispanic man told them his 17-year-old son had been kidnapped and that two suspects were holding the teen at a gas station in North Tyler. He says he made a payment to the suspects but they demanded more money.
A description of the suspect’s vehicle led to the arrest of Trevon Jones-Harris (pictured) and Mioshea Tilley, both 18 and from Tyler. They’ve been charged with two counts of aggravated robbery and two counts of aggravated kidnapping. A 19-year-old Hispanic teen was found in the car with the other kidnapped teen. Police say Trevon and Tilly reportedly jumped the two teens at an apartment complex at knife and gun point during an attempted drug transaction.
