Today, Andreae Lloyd’s family will mark the second anniversary of her death.
Just after midnight on Dec. 7, 2021, police say, Xavier Johnson, Lloyd’s boyfriend, knocked on the door of the Miami-area group home she managed, where she was working an overnight shift alone. A surveillance camera captured what police say happened next: Johnson beat her, dragged her into his white Honda Civic and drove away.
Police say he confessed to the crime. His trial begins in January.
