On January 28, 2024, Tyler Slade approached a group drinking near a memorial in Pengegon Playing Field, Camborne, after becoming emotional and upset. He rode home on his mountain bike, retrieved an imitation BB gun, returned, and fired it at a man in the group, hitting him in the lower face, neck, and right hand. The victim was left in pain, and the incident was reported to Devon and Cornwall Police, leading to Slade's arrest. The gun was recovered, and Slade admitted to the act, citing distress over the memorial to his friend who had died.
