MyKel Savion Kel Boyd, a 24-year-old resident of Hampton, was fatally shot on Interstate 664 in Newport News on August 16, 2023. The State Medical Examiner’s Office later ruled his death a homicide from gunshot wounds.

Details about what happened on the interstate are scarce in public releases. In the months after the shooting, law enforcement provided very little information and by early January 2024 no suspects or arrests had been announced. The lack of clear updates has left family and community members searching for answers about how and why such a brazen attack occurred on a major thoroughfare.

Anyone who saw activity on Interstate 664 that afternoon or who has information about Boyd’s movements or the shooting is asked to come forward.
