Tanya L. Boyland, a 40-year-old lifelong resident of Flint, was fatally shot at her home on E. Foss Avenue just after midnight on June 1, 2022. Responding officers found Boyland deceased; a young child in the home was also struck by the gunfire but suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital.

Boyland worked as a bus aide for the New Standard Academy and was educated in the Flint Community School System. Friends remembered her as a caring person who loved her family, enjoyed music, and liked playing cards. The Flint Major Case Unit and the Michigan State Police opened an investigation and asked the public for help. No arrests have been publicly announced and the investigation remains open.

If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Tanya, please share what you know with investigators.
