Mother demands stiffest punishment for man accused of killing her daughter

The mother of a 22-year-old woman whose fatal shooting was captured on surveillance video says she wants the stiffest punishment possible for the man accused of killing her daughter.

“The stiffest punishment possible,” Erika Harris said.

Harris is the mother of Nadia Shamsid-Deen, a mother of three who Atlanta police say was shot and killed by her boyfriend, 25-year-old Torodd Woods, on Murphy Avenue in southwest Atlanta.

The shooting was captured by a surveillance camera.

Harris said detectives described the video to her before she watched it herself.

“But when I saw that, it was... I have no words,” Harris said.

Atlanta police say the video shows Woods firing several shots at Shamsid-Deen before getting back into a car and driving away.

Woods has since turned himself in.
