NC - Mark Boyd, 32, biked the world, slain in Fayetteville robbery, 25 Sept 2014

An Islip man who had traveled the globe for the past decade and was planning a cross-country bicycle ride was shot to death by robbers after he missed his bus connection in Fayetteville, North Carolina, last week, police and his family said.

Mark Boyd, 32, was shot late Thursday, and was pronounced dead early Friday, after a man he met in the Fayetteville bus depot offered him a place to sleep, they said. Instead, the man and an accomplice drove him to a secluded area, shot him, and stole his crated bicycle and camping gear, they said.

"Everywhere he went he met kind people, and he was a kind and good person. Then he came back to America and this happens," his stepmother, Susanne Boyd of Islip, said in an interview Monday.
