Verdell Ferguson, an 89-year-old Black woman from Savannah, Georgia, was killed on August 14, 2015.

Memorial notices identify her also as Verdell Cleveland Ferguson, born to Nathaniel Cleveland and Lucille Gibbons Cleveland, and name surviving family including a daughter, Dorie Ann Ferguson, plus granddaughters and other relatives. Beyond those family details and the homicide classification, there is no widely published account naming a suspect, motive, sequence of events, arrest, charge, trial, or conviction.

The case remains an unanswered entry in Savannah’s cold-case files and a vivid loss for family members who remember her life. If anyone knew Verdell, her routines, or has information about her death, please come forward.
