Alteria Woods, 21, of Vero Beach, Florida, was killed on March 19, 2017, during a SWAT raid at a home in Gifford in Indian River County. Woods was lying on a bed and was struck by bullets; the autopsy recorded ten gunshot wounds inflicted by deputies during the exchange.

Andrew Coffee IV was charged with felony murder and attempted murder of a law enforcement officer in connection with Woods’ death. A jury later acquitted Coffee in November 2021, finding he acted in self-defense after saying he did not hear officers identify themselves during the raid. The Indian River County Sheriff’s Office has said deputies acted appropriately.

What new information might help clarify exactly how the crossfire began or who was positioned where during the raid?
