On November 4, 2010, 18-year-old Lloyd Payne was shot while driving a green sedan in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston. The single gunshot struck him, his car continued and crashed through a fence on Bullard Street, and he was taken to Boston Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. He was not known to be involved in gangs and had no criminal record.

Lloyd’s family and neighbors described him as a good kid, and his death was the city’s 61st homicide that year. The killing remained unsolved; no arrests had been announced and the case grew cold. In 2019 the new Suffolk County District Attorney pledged to prioritize homicides, offering the possibility the investigation might be revisited, but as of that time no suspects had been publicly identified or taken into custody.

If anyone knew Lloyd, saw activity on Mallon Road or Bullard Street that afternoon, or has information that could help, please come forward.
