ETA: I only looked at the pics the other poster put up for you, but that is definitely not drift from herbicide spray for 2 reasons: 1) you say you don't use it (and why would you on a raised bed of tomatoes) and 2) the leaves aren't necrotic and burned like damage from herbicide. They (the leaves) don't react and draw up so severely as is typical from herbicide drift.
Assuming you've done a careful inspection for signs of an insect infestation of the plant, I think you have a problem starting from the ground level to the roots. Possibly root rot from over watering in a raised bed is another possibility.

Herbicide drift happens a lot because of neighbors. He doesn’t have to be the one using it. That looks like herbicide damage to me. I’ve had tomato plants get hit by 24d and that’s exactly how they looked for the first few days, then they died.

My gardener wife thinks it could be a virus.
