Billy Ray Boyd, 54, was found shot to death in Indianapolis on May 12, 2016. His killing was one of the first in a four-day spree that authorities later tied to a single attacker and that began a period of random, violent attacks across the city.

Prosecutors described Boyd’s death as part of a killing for sport carried out by 19-year-old Johnathan Cruz, who reportedly referred to his acts as purging after a dystopian horror film. Cruz was identified by investigators after witness testimony and other evidence, and he later pled guilty to three counts of murder for the slayings of Boyd, Jay Higginbotham and Jose Ruiz.

In May 2017 a judge sentenced Cruz to three consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole. What details about Boyd’s life and final hours remain unclear?
