On the evening of May 10, 2019, in Greenbelt, Maryland, 44-year-old Bettie Jenifer was shot and killed in the parking lot of the 6300 block of Ivy Lane shortly after 5 p.m. A man armed with a handgun approached her as she walked to her car, chased her while firing multiple rounds, and at least one bullet struck her in the head. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses described the shooter as a Black male with a thin build who fled in a blue vehicle; police later released a composite sketch but no arrest has been made.

Investigators reported that Bettie’s personal life was complex: she was married to actor Chris Attoh in October 2018 while still legally married to Kedrick Jenifer, who was serving a 20-year federal sentence for cocaine importation. Court records show both Bettie and Kedrick filed for divorce in April 2019. Authorities have treated the killing as a targeted attack and questioned people close to her, including Attoh, who denied involvement and said he was cooperating. The motive remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Bettie, her routines, or saw a blue vehicle in the Ivy Lane parking lot that evening, please share what was seen.
