If you mean James Byrd Jr., He was an African-American who was dragged to death behind a pickup truck by White supremacists on June 7, 1998. He was age 49. This heinous act helped lead to the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act.
Shawn Berry (age 24) knew Byrd from around town and was driving the pickup. John King (age 23) and Lawrence Russell Brewer (age 31) were also in the pickup. However, Berry didn't take Byrd home. Instead, the three men took Byrd to a remote county road out of town, beat him severely, urinated on him and chained him to the pickup truck. Then they dragged him for approximately 1.5 miles. Brewer and King both showed no remorse and were sentenced to death. Brewer was executed on September 21, 2011. King is still on death row. Berry is in protective custody and won't be eligible for parole until June 7, 2038.
