A new witness led to a crack in a 15-year-old Mobile murder case that long had gone cold, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
Mobile County Assistant District Attorney Louis Walker said outside the courtroom that information provided by the witness led to the arrest of Jhordis D. Woods on a felony murder charge in the death of 16-year-old Shaywanna Robinson during a home invasion in August 2007 at the Bankhead Place apartments.
“All the evidence suggests that there were two individuals that broke into the home that the victim was residing in,” he said. “And it was an innocent 16-year-old girl that was inside the home and was killed with the shotgun.”
