Rhoda C. Hamilton McFarland, 42, was one of five women killed during the Lane Bryant shooting at Brookside Marketplace in Tinley Park, Illinois, on February 2, 2008. She was working that day as the manager of the Lane Bryant store. Born January 10, 1966, in Joliet, Illinois, Rhoda had served in the U.S. Air Force and was an associate pastor at Embassy Christian Center.

On February 2, a gunman took Rhoda and five other women hostage inside the store and then opened fire, killing Rhoda and four other women. The shooter escaped and no arrest has been made. Authorities released suspect sketches and offered a substantial reward; the FBI and other agencies investigated and followed many tips, but the gunman’s identity remains unknown.

Rhoda’s family and community remembered her as compassionate and committed to helping others through her pastoral work and community involvement. Does anyone with information about that day or the shooter have tips to share with investigators?
