On the late morning of May 6, 2021, 17-year-old Anthony Boyd Jr was shot on South 8th Avenue in Mount Vernon, New York, a short distance from his home. He was found with gunshot wounds to the chest and taken to Montefiore Mount Vernon Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Boyd was a high school senior who had planned to enlist in the army.

Investigators later said the shooting was connected to a gun sale Anthony had arranged. Two local men were indicted in connection with the case in February 2023: Tyrese White and Christopher Mills, both named in the indictment. At the time of that announcement, both were already in custody on unrelated matters and faced charges including second-degree murder, first-degree robbery, and criminal possession of a weapon.

Anyone with memories of Anthony, knowledge of the shooting, or information that could help the investigation is urged to come forward.
