Hanee Heron Byrd, 37, of Fayetteville was found dead in woods off Meharry Drive near Shaw Mill Road on February 9, 2016. A passerby discovered his body and called 911 about 1:30 p.m. that day. Medical examiners determined the cause of death to be a gunshot wound to the head. Byrd’s body was located about 50 to 75 yards from the edge of the woods and appeared not to have been there long.

Investigators quickly developed a suspect. Police say Damien Scott Boyd, 23, of Fayetteville, was charged with first-degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon. Boyd was reportedly last seen with Byrd around 12:30 a.m. a few days before the body was found; the two were seen leaving the Hawthorne Drive area in a black 2012 Ford Focus with North Carolina plate BLR-2895. Warrants were obtained for Boyd’s arrest and authorities asked the public for information about his whereabouts.

Are there any witnesses or local residents who recall seeing that Ford Focus or the two men near Hawthorne Drive that night?
