An Atlanta man, Lawrence Woods, 19, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for beating to death his girlfriend. Police said Woods killed Elijah McDrew, 22, because she shorted him $40 from a prostitution job he sent her on.
Police said that Woods chased McDrew in his car then on foot before catching her and beating her to death.
She was beaten so badly that she was left without brain function.
A compilation of daily news articles from around the United States about deaths (including both people and animals) that appear to occur in the context of a past or present intimate relationship, focusing on 2009-present. (NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
