In the early morning of December 2, 2005, 23-year-old Elexuis Woodland was shot and killed while walking home with a male friend in the 2000 block of Savannah Terrace SE in Washington, D.C. The pair had just bought food when a light blue American-made car, possibly a Buick or Oldsmobile, pulled up. A man got out, demanded money and, when told they had none, opened fire. Woodland died; her friend was wounded but survived.

Woodland was a hairstylist who had changed her last name to honor her grandfather, a former boxer who worked with youth in the community. The surviving victim described the shooter as a Black male in his 20s, about 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet tall, with a slight mustache and hair in either plaits or dreadlocks. An artist’s sketch was released and a reward of up to $25,000 offered, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in the area that night see the light blue car or recognize the man in the sketch?
