Police have said Terry is accused of killing two people in Missouri, another murder in York County — north of Chester County — and is wanted for five attempted murder charges from a shooting in Chester on May 2, according to Fox News.
He is considered armed and dangerous.
The FBI and Crimestoppers currently have a $12,000 reward posted for information leading to Terry’s arrest.
More than 125 police are searching for Terry, according to Grant Suksin, a spokesman for the Chester County Sheriff’s Office, The State reported.
Aerial resources, including drones, a plane and a helicopter have been used in the search.
John Terry, Tyler Terry’s father, said he has not seen his son in about six months, according to WSOC-TV.
“I just want everybody to know that he has not always been like this. He was a very loving child. He’s had his problems just like everybody else, but I could never imagine something like this happening,” John Terry said.
“I just hope the police can apprehend him, and if he’s out there, son, turn yourself in please. We don’t want anything to happen to you,” he said.
In the meantime, residents cower indoors.
“I feel like a criminal in my own home, like it’s very tough, and I have a child,” resident Lakina Brown said.
“I live a minute down the road. A minute from where they last saw him so, I just go home and lock my doors and stay inside,” said Tamara Fudge, who works at a nearby gas station.
