Williams Boyd III, a 36-year-old Oakland resident, was shot and killed in Antioch, California, on November 8, 2014. He was found at about 2:25 a.m. at the intersection of Grassland Way and Whitehoof Way, lying on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Boyd had no known ties to the area and it is unclear why he was in Antioch that night.

The Antioch Police Department reported no immediate witnesses or suspects and appealed to the public for information. No arrests were made and the investigation remained open; detectives revisited the case periodically and investigators hoped new leads or forensic developments might produce answers. Boyd’s family and friends have continued to seek justice.
