Boyd’s public defender tried to argue he was under duress because his car was being stolen and the shooting was in self-defense. He said Boyd has no prior convictions and is not a risk to the public. DoorDash was one of four jobs Boyd is currently working.

Police say a driver pulled up to an apartment complex and left their car running and unattended. When the driver came back, a stranger was inside the car, and the two began to fight.

The driver told police he thought the 15-year-old and another man were armed when he fatally shot the teenager in his car.
