Police officers in Atlanta, Georgia, want to track down a suspected killer who ambushed and killed a young father after he walked out of the barbershop.
The fatal shooting occurred on Carmia Drive at the popular Camp Creek Marketplace on Saturday night around 9 p.m., outside the barbershop near the Publix.
“He has a ton of friends who loved him because he was warm. Friendly and generous,” Wyman Boyd’s grandmother said.
Wilhelmina Boyd told FOX 5 News that she almost fainted when she got the disturbing news.
“The energy went out of my body. I don’t know how else to explain it. It took something from me when I heard that,” she said.
Mrs. Boyd told reporters that her 27-year-old grandson was a good man who absolutely love his 4-year-old son.
Several people in the barbershop told reporters that Boyd was jovial and cracking jokes just before he left on Saturday night. Atlanta police believe the young father was targeted, but his family and witnesses said he did not see it coming.
“It seemed more personal than anything else. I think he was absolutely caught unaware and he was not armed,” the grandmother lamented.
Atlanta police have not yet arrested anyone in the case. The family said police have surveillance video of the killing, but it is grainy.
