ATLANTA, GA — A man has surrendered and is now facing murder charges in connection with the shooting death of a woman in Atlanta, police said Monday night.
Atlanta Police said Torodd Woods, 23, on Monday surrendered at the Douglas County Jail in connection with the deadly shooting of a woman at Osborne Street Southwest and Murphy Avenue Southwest. Atlanta officers responded to the shooting around 7:30 p.m., Nov. 3.
Though police did not identify the woman, her family identified her to WAGA-TV as Nadia Shamsid-Deen.
On Tuesday, Woods waived his first court appearance, WAGA-TV reported.
"He had no remorse," Erica Harris, Shamsid-Deen's mother, told WAGA-TV, adding Shamsid-Deen had three young children. "... None."
Police said when they arrived, they found the woman suffering from multiple apparent gunshot wounds. She was taken to the hospital, where she was in critical condition, police said.
Shamsid-Deen and Woods were sitting inside a vehicle when Woods started repeatedly shooting at her, police said.
He was then accused of pulling her outside the car and attempting to shoot her again, but police said the gun malfunctioned.
Woods then took the vehicle and started shooting at her as she tried to seek help, police said.
APD did not release the date she died, but said the case is being probed by homicide investigators.
Additionally, Woods is facing charges of murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, police said. Woods was booked into the Fulton County Jail.
