Gabbie
Tyler was Gabbie's boyfriend at the time of her death. She hired you to make sure the Homecoming election wasn't rigged, because she believed his teammates hate Tyler for being the star runner and want to see him humiliated. In Chapter 2, if Claudia trusts you enough, she tells you the two of them were having problems as Tyler believed Gabbie was cheating on him. Although they started dating on March 16, 2021 and recently celebrated a six-month anniversary on September 16, they only pretended to be okay during Homecoming. You note that the date was important to Tyler because he used it as his locker combination.

If you decide to snoop around the boys locker room in Chapter 2, you overhear Kevin mention that Gabbie convinced the coach not to kick Tyler off the team.

However, in Chapter 3, Tyler reveals that they hadn't actually been dating, as Gabbie simply needed someone to pretend to be her boyfriend until graduation. It sometimes led to tension between the two, even to the point where Tyler thought she may have gotten herself into serious trouble, as Gabbie would often have him cover for her without ever telling him why.

Your Character
Tyler is one of your initial suspects in Gabbie's murder after you find his bloody pocket square at the scene of the crime. While looking through his phone, you discover that the last text he sent her read "U are so dead", which you interpret as a death threat.

Eventually, you try to escape his car after breaking into it, but Tyler catches up to you. The two of you talk about his and Gabbie's relationship and her murder. He thought you and Gabbie were secretly dating.

Donovan Navarro
Donovan doesn't think too highly of Tyler, calling him shallow. He also claims Tyler has been talking down on him for not being into sports. The two of them get into a fight when you decide to visit the Navarro's home in an attempt to find more clues about Gabbie's death.

Teammates
His teammates -notably Kevin and Drew- believe he killed Gabbie. Kevin knows she died of a drug overdose, and speculates that Tyler supplied her with the drugs. Kevin states that Tyler lives in an apartment complex with drug dealers and junkies, and so it "adds up". However, he has no proof and says the best thing they can do is get Tyler expelled.
