Ora Faye Griffin, 77, was killed in her Fort Worth, Texas, apartment on July 28, 2023. Early that morning, while she was eating breakfast, numerous gunshots were fired into her residence from outside. Neighbors found her unresponsive and called authorities; the Fort Worth Police Department opened a homicide investigation after determining multiple rounds had been fired into the apartment and the shooter fled the scene.

Police later arrested 18-year-old Aaron Charles Wooden on August 3, 2023, charging him with murder. Investigators told Griffin’s daughter that her mother may not have been the intended target, suggesting a possible case of mistaken identity or a misdirected attack. Family and neighbors remembered Griffin as a kind, devoted person, and her death has prompted concern about gun violence in the community.

If anyone saw activity outside Griffin’s apartment that morning or has information about who fired into the building, please come forward.
