On the evening of September 4, 2021, 53-year-old Michael Shea Boyd was fatally shot at a residence on East 8th Street in Columbia, Tennessee. The Columbia Police Department named Wayne Vandiver a person of interest early in the investigation and warned the public that he was armed and dangerous; the dispute that led to the shooting has been described only as an argument, with no further public detail about its nature.

A nationwide search followed, ending with Vandiver’s arrest in Detroit, Michigan, by the U.S. Marshals Service and local authorities. He was returned to Tennessee and initially indicted by a Maury County grand jury on first-degree murder; later proceedings resulted in Vandiver pleading guilty to second-degree murder and receiving a 40-year prison sentence for Boyd’s death.
