Ronald Jordan Boyd, 26, was shot to death in the early hours of August 22, 2020, in the 800 block of North Lorel Avenue in the Austin neighborhood on Chicago’s West Side. Boyd was among a group when an assailant, identified as 25-year-old David Arrington of Round Lake Park, approached and opened fire. Boyd was struck multiple times and later pronounced dead at Mount Sinai Hospital.

Arrington was arrested and charged with Boyd’s murder. Investigators say Arrington believed Boyd was responsible for the recent death of his aunt’s best friend and sought revenge. Authorities report Arrington confessed, and evidence cited includes surveillance video showing him wearing distinctive Burberry clothing that matched items recovered, cellphone records placing him at the scene, and receipts and footage linking a black Jeep to him. The judge commented on retaliatory violence in the city.
