Demetria Presley, 20, was found with a gunshot wound to the chest in the parking lot of Tulane Park Apartments in Horn Lake, Mississippi, on Thursday, August 13, 2020. Emergency responders took her to Regional One Health in Memphis, where she died of her injuries.

Investigators identified 23-year-old Corey Woods Jr. of Hernando as the suspect. Woods and Presley had been in a previous relationship and shared a child. Witnesses at the apartment complex identified Woods as the shooter. After the shooting Woods fled in a white Honda Accord; the vehicle was later found abandoned in Memphis.

A bulletin described Woods as armed and dangerous before he surrendered the same night to the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Department. He was booked into the DeSoto County Adult Detention Center and charged with murder, held without bond pending court. If anyone at Tulane Park Apartments that day saw anything that could help, please come forward with information.
