The detective, Dante Servin, had gotten into a verbal altercation with one person among a group of individuals Boyd was standing with in Douglas Park, located on the South Side. From his unmarked car, Servin turned the wrong way on a one-way street and fired five rounds over his left shoulder out the window.
One of the rounds struck the hand of a man in the group; another hit Boyd in the back of the head. She died less than 24 hours later.
