Donte Dejuan Carr, a 40-year-old resident of Moreno Valley, California, tragically lost his life on December 9, 2020, in San Bernardino. Carr was found suffering from gunshot wounds on North G Street around 9:42 p.m. Despite being transported to a local hospital, he succumbed to his injuries. The San Bernardino Police Department reported that the motive for the shooting remained unclear at the time, and no additional information was available immediately following the incident.
The
investigation into Carr's death led authorities to identify Shyheed Robert Boyd, a 21-year-old from San Bernardino, as the primary suspect. Boyd was wanted on a $1 million arrest warrant in connection with Carr's murder. On December 30, 2020, San Bernardino police officers attempted to apprehend Boyd in Highland, an area he was known to frequent. During the encounter, Boyd allegedly fled from the officers and opened fire, injuring one officer. In the ensuing exchange, Boyd was shot and later died at a hospital. The injured officer was treated and released, expected to make a full recovery.
The deadly use of force in Boyd's case is under investigation by both the San Bernardino Police Department and the county Sheriff's Department. The authorities have not disclosed further details regarding the number of times Boyd was shot or the specific nature of the officer's injuries, other than to confirm they were not life-threatening. The investigation into the motive behind Carr's murder and any potential connections Boyd may have had remains ongoing.
