Corey De’Andrew Woods, 30, was fatally shot on June 6, 2020, in Cincinnati’s West End during what police described as a rolling gun battle between two cars. He was found inside his car after it struck a telephone pole and came to rest in the construction site for the new FC Cincinnati stadium at Derrick Turnbow Avenue and John Street. Dozens of shell casings were found across several city blocks, indicating a large exchange of gunfire.

No arrests have been announced and the case remains open. Family and friends remember Corey as a sweet giant and a devoted family man; his longtime girlfriend, Millie Patterson, said he didn’t bother anyone and that she now must explain his death to their 10-year-old son. The community continues to mourn and officials are asking anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone in the West End that morning see the cars involved or notice anything unusual in the area?
