WMBF News reports that HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) - Weldon Boyd wants a reversal of an order denying him immunity in a civil lawsuit over a deadly 2023 road rage shooting in Horry County.
Weldon Boyd, through his attorney, filed a motion to reconsider Wednesday, asking the court to reverse a judge’s March 11 decision to deny him immunity in a civil lawsuit against him.
Authorities said Boyd, the owner of Buoys on the Boulevard in North Myrtle Beach, shot and killed Scott Spivey along Camp Swamp Road in the Longs area following a road-rage incident in 2023.
Spivey’s family filed a lawsuit against Boyd and his friend, Kenneth “Bradley” Williams, in 2024, and the two claimed they shot in self-defense and sought immunity from the lawsuit under the stand-your-ground law.
South Carolina’s stand-your-ground law applies when the use of deadly force is deemed lawful.
After the hearing, the judge denied Boyd immunity immediately, finding that Boyd was not credible.
