In the early morning hours of November 28, 2016, first responders responding to a grass fire on the 1800 block of Eighth Avenue South in Columbus, Mississippi, found more than a burning car. Near the vehicle, which was registered to his mother, the body of 18-year-old Dshawn Dee Boyd, a black male, was discovered a short distance from the driver’s side. An investigation determined Boyd had died from gunshot wounds rather than the fire; his body was sent for autopsy.

Boyd had been arrested two weeks earlier, on November 14, on charges that included felony possession of a stolen firearm and was released from jail on November 16 with a court date set for December. Detectives continued the homicide investigation for months. In early June 2017 the Columbus Police Department announced an arrest: 17-year-old Kevis Hill was charged with murder and held without bond.

Did anyone in Columbus have information about Boyd’s movements or the vehicle on the night of November 28, 2016?
