Woods was identified as one of the individuals involved in a parking lot shootout that occurred several weeks ago in Cocoa, Florida. According to investigators, Woods and several associates were engaged in gunfire when a two-year-old child was struck and injured during the crossfire.

After being named as the Fugitive of the Week, Woods was tracked down to a residence in Canaveral Groves. Early Tuesday morning, members of the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office GAMEOVER Task Force, working in coordination with the U.S. Marshals Service, executed an operation at the residence.
