January 2, 2024 – The investigation into Friday’s 3 p.m. fatal crash on Briley Parkway North has led to multiple charges against the two injured occupants of the 2011 Infiniti G37 who fled from the scene.
Marqueze Boyd, 23, was fatally injured when the Infiniti lost control at a high rate of speed and flipped several times before coming to rest over a fence in the backyard of a residence on Cabin Hill Road. Boyd was transported to Skyline Medical Center where he died. The Medical Examiner confirmed that a head injury suffered by Boyd was a result of the crash.
Two other occupants inside the Infiniti, Terrelle Butler, 20, and Kiyahn Hayes Woods, 22, ran from the scene and were located by a shed behind a home on Cabin Hill Road. A backpack was recovered from underneath the shed containing a large quantity of marijuana, a pistol, cash and clothes.
An AR-style pistol and more marijuana were recovered from the Infiniti.
Both men were transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where they were evaluated by medical staff and interviewed by detectives. Butler, who is believed to have been the driver of the Infiniti at the time of the crash, admitted ownership of the backpack during the interview.
Upon their release from the hospital, both will be booked for possession of marijuana, leaving the scene of a crash involving a death and felony weapon possession.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol is leading the crash investigation. Charges related to the crash are pending.
