Recorded calls rely on the fatal shootout, in which the restaurant owner in North Myrtle Beach is involved

Horry County, SC (WMBF) – The family of a man who was killed at a shootout with a restaurant owner in North Myrtle Beach, asks the authorities again to examine the case again.

“Since the moment the Scott died, we said:” Something is wrong, “said Jennifer Spivey Foley about the death of her brother Scott Spivey.

Spivey was killed in September 2023 along the Camp Swamp Road in Horry County, in which the police were called street breed incident, in which Weldon Boyd was involved.

Boyd, the owner of Boejen on the builavard in the North Myrtle Beach, was never charged during the investigation when the general prosecutor’s office in South Carolina cited a lack of evidence.

However, the case was recently brought to light after the resignation of ex-horry County Deputy Chef Brandon Strickland. Strickland is currently being examined during the case due to suspected misconduct.

WMBF News received recently recorded telephone calls via Foley’s lawyer from Boyd and Strickland, who were personal friends after shooting.

The calls grasp ropes in particular about the case with Boyd. The two conversations with a total of almost 20 minutes can be heard in their entirety.

Strickland: “I called my people, and the detective who met with you last night was Alan Jones, right?”

Boyd: “I think yes.”

Strickland: “Yes. Country Guy. Gut ‘Ol- good’ Ole Junge. Well, I sent that there, and I called the captain in investigation and told him who you were, and my next call was on (lawyer) Jimmy Richardson.“”

……

Strickland: “But I was spoken in the speech last night- I worked- I was in the shade last night. I wasn’t there, but I was in the shade.”

The decision of finally concluding the investigation annoyed the Spivey family, who has since submitted an illegal complaint against Boyd and continued to demand a new investigation.

The city council of Horry County, Johnny Gardner and Horry County Administrator Barry Spivey, joined these calls last week and sent letters to the head of the state law enforcement department and governor Henry McMaster to reopen the investigation.

“I found that a very brave movement of them,” said Foley. “And the grateful because they do something for a victim that no one else did.”

With the potential of a breakthrough in the case on the horizon, Spivey’s family is now looking for another chance to find out what really happened on the day of his death.

“My whole family has ever asked a fair and honest examination,” said Foley. “Everything we want is that all evidence is checked before the decision is made.”

In a Facebook post on the buoy on the Facebook page Boulevard on Sunday, Boyd claimed that the shootout was in self-defense and said that he would welcome and work together with further investigations. He also said he would no longer talk to the media about the case.
