Garcius Woodyard was 49 when he was shot and killed in Highland Park, Michigan, on February 18. Authorities believe the shooting occurred during an attempted robbery and say his death was part of a rapid series of violent crimes affecting Wayne County.

Police identified Kenyel Brown as the suspect in Woodyard’s killing and linked him to multiple murders over a short period. Brown was located and surrounded by law enforcement on February 24; he shot himself while being pursued and died of those self-inflicted wounds on February 28, 2020. With Brown’s death, there will be no trial to resolve the allegations against him in Woodyard’s case.
