Patrolman Anthony Louis Woods, 35, was killed responding to a domestic violence call in the Parkway Village area of Memphis, Tennessee, on the evening of August 27, 2003. A seven-year veteran of the Memphis Police Department, he arrived alone at about 7:20 p.m. and entered the residence where the disturbance was reported.

A struggle followed between the suspect and Patrolman Woods; Woods was shot twice in the head and twice in the shoulder. Other officers were arriving as the suspect tried to flee out the back. Confronted by an arriving officer and with no apparent way out, the man died by suicide at the scene. Patrolman Woods was taken to the Regional Medical Center but succumbed to his injuries. He left behind a wife, who worked as a deputy jailer, and three children.

No arrest was made in connection with the killing because the suspect died at the scene. If anyone knew Woods or witnessed the events that evening, please share information that might shed light on what happened.
