Tiffany Woods, a 39-year-old Black woman, was shot and killed in Hammond, Indiana on December 27, 2024. Witnesses reported seeing her running and screaming for help as her pursuer, identified as her ex-husband, chased her through a residential intersection and shot her multiple times. Police arrived around 2:30 p.m.; Tiffany was pronounced dead at the scene and the incident was investigated as a domestic-related homicide.

The suspect was identified as 39-year-old Allen Oscar Woods, who fled the scene. Investigators determined he had likely gone to the Chicagoland area. The U.S. Marshals Service joined the search and public assistance was requested. A tip on January 8, 2025 led law enforcement to an establishment on South Canal Street in Chicago, where members of the U.S. Marshals Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force, Chicago Police Department and Illinois Department of Corrections apprehended Allen Oscar Woods without incident. He has been charged in Lake Criminal Court with Tiffany’s murder and is awaiting his day in court.
