Boyd died three days after a struggle with police that began after he reportedly called 911 for medical help. Boyd was acting erratically when officers arrived, and tried to enter two police cars and banged on a neighbor's door asking them to call police, according to a police report. Boyd's girlfriend, who was present when police arrived, said officers sat on him and used their body weight to restrain him and struck him twice in the face with a closed fist during the struggle.
