On the evening of January 4, 2008, Evangelist Caffery D. Woods, 49, was shot and killed while seated in her SUV behind a duplex in the 7400 block of 2nd Avenue South in Birmingham, Alabama. The attack came about 7:30 p.m.; investigators estimated as many as 50 rounds were fired. Woods died at the scene.

Woods’ 88-year-old mother, Mattie Mae Woods, was in the vehicle and was shot multiple times but survived. The two had just returned from a grocery store where they had wired money to one of Caffery’s children and were preparing to deliver medicine for Caffery’s job at a nursing home. Homicide investigators later suggested the shooting may have been a case of mistaken identity, believing Caffery and her mother were not the intended targets.

A reward was announced in July 2008 for information and was reported increased to $10,000 by January 2014, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Does anyone have information about that evening or recalls activity around 2nd Avenue South on January 4, 2008?
