Christopher Boyle, 25, of Los Angeles was killed on September 30, 1986, one of several victims in a series of attacks on Skid Row that month. The perpetrator, Michael Player, attacked primarily homeless people, often from behind, shooting them execution-style in the head while they slept. Boyle and 56-year-old Leon Gaines were both killed on September 30 during the same spree.

Player’s crimes began in early September 1986 and continued until October. He had a prior history of robbery and illegal weapons possession and was linked to the Skid Row murders by witness testimony and forensic evidence. Before he could face trial, Player died by suicide on October 10, 1986, leaving families without a formal trial or conviction.
