Deasia Ayres, 26, was found dead inside her parked Dodge Durango on Baldwin Lane in the Buckingham Park section of Willingboro, New Jersey, on the morning of September 18, 2019. An autopsy determined she had been shot in the back of the neck and head in the early morning hours; authorities said the motive was robbery.
A week after the discovery, two local men were arrested: Devon Woods, 25, of Trenton, and Sam T. Gore, 25, of Willingboro. Both were charged with first-degree murder, robbery, and weapons offenses, and authorities identified Woods as the person who pulled the trigger.
In October 2022 a jury found Devon Woods guilty of murder, robbery, and related charges; in January 2023 he was sentenced to life without parole. Sam T. Gore was later found not guilty of the murder. If anyone knew Deasia, her routines, or saw her vehicle on September 18, 2019, please come forward with information.
