Danzel Boyd

Deadly force

A woman reported a rape and kidnapping to the police. The victim told police where Danzel Boyd was and they found him in an apartment. Boyd was ordered out of the apartment but refused, leading to a 16-hour standoff during which Boyd fired at officers. After Boyd refused to negotiate a police dog was sent in to the bathroom where he was barricaded. When Boyd continued to brandish a handgun, officers James Ferrante, 35, and William Marx, 48, fatally shot Boyd at about 1:15 p.m.
