Augustus Gus Byam, a 34-year-old African American man, was shot in the head and found dead in his pickup truck near Glades Road and Federal Highway in Boca Raton, Florida, on May 6, 2017. Byam had been living out of his truck, was two years sober, and had started a landscaping business with plans to marry and move to Ocala with his girlfriend, Theresa Rouse.

Witnesses reported seeing Byam in the driver’s seat with the window down and heard gunshots and flashes of light from cars parked next to his vehicle; his body was discovered the next morning. The killing was tied to Byam’s cooperation with police: he had given a statement against Tashane Chantiloupe, who had been released from prison about three weeks before the murder and had reportedly threatened to kill Byam for testifying. Chantiloupe was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and possession of a weapon by a felon, and his bond was denied when he declined to appear for a bond hearing.

Byam was remembered by friends, church members and family as having turned his life around and as kind and generous. Does anyone have information about Byam’s last movements near Glades Road and Federal Highway on May 6, 2017?
