Mark Leroy Woodruff, 72, was found dead in the driver’s seat of his running vehicle in his Glendale, Arizona driveway in the early morning hours of June 24, 2014. He had been returning from an overnight volunteer shift as a church custodian. Investigators determined Woodruff died of a gunshot wound to the head; a 9MM shell casing was recovered and another bullet was fired through the car door.

Detectives focused on Gustin Ray Woodman Jr. after learning Woodman had seen Woodruff at a gas station, believed Woodruff had money, and followed him with the intent to rob him. Two days after the killing, police stopped Woodman and found a 9MM Taurus handgun in his vehicle; a spent 9MM casing lodged in that gun was forensically matched to the casing at the scene. Woodman was arrested and faced multiple felony charges.

Does anyone have information about Woodruff’s activities that night or recall seeing him in Glendale on June 23–24, 2014?
