On Thursday, January 9, 2025, 65-year-old Timmy Moore was found dead inside a home on Neely Street in Greenville, South Carolina. The Greenville County Coroner’s Office determined Moore died from a gunshot wound and ruled the death a homicide, prompting an immediate investigation into the shooting.

Investigators quickly identified 48-year-old McKenzie Clarence Boykin as the person believed responsible. The two men were acquainted, though officials did not disclose a motive. Boykin was located and taken into custody in Gwinnett County, Georgia, the day after Moore’s body was found; he was initially held on a failure-to-appear warrant and was later charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.

Court paperwork noted Boykin has a prior 2010 conviction for violent crimes and had been released on probation in late 2022. He was awaiting extradition to South Carolina to face the new charges. Did anyone in Greenville know either man or see signs of trouble between them in the weeks before January 9?
