Regina Granville, a 34-year-old Black woman, was killed in Brooklyn, New York, on July 14, 2000.

Those widely reported Brooklyn cases centered on a pattern of strangulation murders in Williamsburg and Bedford-Stuyvesant and ultimately produced a suspect, Vincent Johnson, whose DNA was reported to match biological evidence from multiple scenes; Johnson later admitted to and pled in relation to several victims named in those accounts.

Does anyone have contemporaneous details about Granville’s case, the exact location where she was found, or whether investigators at the time publicly connected her death to the Brooklyn strangulation series?
