Destiny V. Woodall was 17 when she was shot inside a Buhrer Avenue home in Cleveland on February 14, 2022. She was found in a bedroom with a gunshot wound to the chest; the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner ruled the gunshot the cause of death and she later died of her injuries on February 28, 2022.

Police followed a trail of blood to the basement and located a 21-year-old man, identified as Iykle Burkes. He told officers he had accidentally shot Destiny while attempting to shoot himself in the hand. Burkes was treated for his injuries, arrested at the scene, and initially indicted on attempted murder and felonious assault; after Destiny died the charges were upgraded to include one count of murder. The Cleveland Division of Police homicide unit continued the investigation and authorities asked anyone with information to come forward; a cash reward of up to $5,000 was offered for tips.

Destiny’s family and friends received community support while the case remained under investigation. Does anyone have information about the events at the Buhrer Avenue home or knew Destiny and can help investigators?
