Do you know who killed Alicia Green? On a summer day in New Orleans, June 30, 2014, the life of 28-year-old Alicia Green, a Caucasian female who also went by the name Ayanna Woodward, was tragically cut short. Her body was discovered in a wooded area off Michoud Boulevard in New Orleans East, having been shot multiple times and subsequently burned. The initial investigation into her death yielded few leads, and for a period, the case went cold, leaving her family and the community searching for answers.
For years, the
circumstances surrounding Alicia Green’s violent death remained a mystery. The New Orleans Police Department continued to work on the case, and eventually, a breakthrough emerged from their Cold Case Unit. Investigators were able to identify a suspect, a man named Gordon Lewis. At the time of this development, Lewis was already serving a sentence in the Louisiana Department of Corrections for charges unrelated to Green's murder.
Based on new leads and evidence gathered by the detectives, an arrest warrant was secured for Gordon Lewis, and he was formally charged with the murder of Alicia Green. While this brought a renewed sense of hope for justice for Green's loved ones, the motive behind the brutal killing remained unclear. The investigation continues as law enforcement seeks to piece together the events that led to her death, bringing a measure of closure to a case that once seemed destined to remain unsolved.
