Clifton Boyd, 55, was fatally shot on April 6, 2024, in the West Englewood neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. The shooting occurred around 11 a.m. in the 6700 block of South Ashland Avenue when someone in a vehicle fired at Boyd. He was found on the ground at the auto shop where he worked by a co-worker, who called for emergency help. Boyd was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and later pronounced dead; his identity was confirmed by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Relatives and co-workers say they cannot think of any reason why he would have been targeted. As of May 27, 2024, no suspects are in custody and the Chicago police are still investigating. If anyone who knew Boyd or who was in the area that morning has information, please share what you know with investigators.
