| Police Officer Shayne York |
Kevin D. Boyce is on death row in the
state of California. In
March of 2019, the state halted executions, leaving death row in the air. As someone who has seen every crime that was committed to earn this sentence, it is truly reserved for the worst of the worst, and he or she will likely serve life in prison if the death penalty is no longer an option.

Crime
Boyce and Andre Willis burglarized a
hair salon, robbing several people inside and killing an off-duty
sheriff's deputy who had taken his wife to the salon for a birthday
treat. Willis, tried separately, was sentenced to 75 years to life
for murder and multiple consecutive terms of 25 years to life for
robbery.
Kevin Dewayn Boyce and Andre Willis burglarized two businesses, robbing several people inside. During the first crime, off-duty peace officer Shayne York was killed. A jury convicted defendant of first degree murder with the special circumstances of killing a peace officer in retaliation for the performance of his duties and of murder during the commission of robbery and burglary. Because the jury found the peace officer special circumstance true, it necessarily concluded defendant fired the single fatal shot. Defendant was also convicted of two counts of second degree robbery and one count of second degree burglary in connection with that incident. On all charges defendant was found to have personally used a firearm. The second incident resulted in convictions of three counts of second degree robbery, three counts of attempted second degree robbery, and one count of second degree burglary, all with personal firearm use.
