Police say a Detroit synagogue president has been found stabbed to death outside her home
A Detroit synagogue president was found stabbed to death outside her home Saturday, police said. The motive wasn’t known.
Emergency medical personnel declared the woman, identified in a statement from Mayor Mike Duggan as Samantha Woll, dead at the scene, Cpl. Dan Donakowski said.
“While at the scene, police officers observed a trail of blood leading officers to the victim’s residence, which is where the crime is believed to have occurred,” Donakowski said.
Woll, 40, had led the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue since 2022 and was a former aide to Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin and campaign staffer for Attorney General Dana Nessel, the Detroit Free Press reported.
Police have not identified a possible motive and are investigating, the Free Press reported.
