On the evening of April 15, 2021, 34-year-old Diesha Boyd was shot and killed while driving a daycare van along Goodfellow Boulevard in St. Louis, Missouri. Boyd had just left her job and was transporting three of her daughters and two other teenagers when an unknown assailant opened fire. Boyd was struck multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene. A 7-year-old daughter was wounded in the foot and an 18-year-old passenger was grazed by a bullet.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation and asked the public for information. Boyd’s family described her as the sole provider for her children and said they had no idea who would want to harm her. No arrests have been announced and the motive remains unclear.

If anyone has information about the shooting or remembers seeing the van on Goodfellow Boulevard that night, please come forward.
