Tyler O'Neill

Tyler O'Neill is a fictional teenager and murder victim and a minor character featured in the MTV television program Scream: The Series. He was played by actor Max Lloyd-Jones and appeared in the show's pilot episode.

Biography
Tyler O'Neill was a teenager and a resident of Lakewood, California. He was a student at George Washington High School and the boyfriend of Nina Patterson. Tyler was part of a group of people that videotaped Audrey Jensen making out with Rachael Murray, which was then uploaded to a video file-sharing service.

On the night that the video went viral, Tyler dropped Nina off at her house. Moments later, he was murdered by a masked killer, who cut his head off. The killer used Tyler's cell phone to send texts to Nina, who had gone into the house by this point. Nina went out to her swimming pool, replaying to "Tyler's" texts, baiting him to come for her. The killer sent one final text that read "Heads up" before throwing Tyler's head into the pool, causing Nina to scream in horror and run. The killer chased her down and slit her throat.

News of Nina's death quickly circulated, but at this point, Tyler's head had not been recovered. He was considered a person of interest as witnesses saw his car outside Nina's house on the night of the murder. His headless body eventually turned up, and the killer made it appear that he had died in a car accident. As more murders began to occur, it became apparent to many that Tyler was one of the victims, and not Nina's killer.
