On May 6, 2021, 17-year-old Tony Boyd was shot multiple times at Gouverneur Playground on Washington Avenue in the Bronx just before 11:30 p.m. The shooter approached and fired, striking Tony in the chest and back; the attacker then fled south on Washington Avenue. Emergency services transported Tony to Bronx Lebanon Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators released surveillance images and asked the public for help identifying the shooter. In November 2021, a 27-year-old, Jaykwan Ford, was arrested and charged with murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with Tony’s killing. By 2023, two other men, Tyrese White and Christopher Mills, were indicted on charges tied to the fatal shooting and were in custody on unrelated matters when those charges were filed.

Who in the community remembers Tony or has information about what happened that night?
