Kenneth Woods, 42, was shot in the chest the evening of September 23, 2014, in the parking lot of a Popeye’s Chicken on the 4200 block of Broad Street in Philadelphia. A private citizen drove him to Temple University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Investigators identified 26-year-old Markese Martin as the shooter and tied the killing to a robbery that had taken place outside the same restaurant; police say Martin shot Woods to silence a potential witness. At the time Martin was charged in Woods’ murder he was already in custody for a separate shooting. Warrants were also issued for two alleged accomplices in the robbery, 20-year-old Megan Jones and 26-year-old Kord Rozier.

Authorities say Rozier had been considering turning himself in for the robbery, and shortly afterward Rozier and his pregnant girlfriend, Jasmine Williams, were both shot and killed along with their unborn child. A $40,000 reward was offered for information leading to Martin’s capture; he was later apprehended and charged.

Did anyone in the area witness the robbery or the shooting that night?
