🎄 The 12 Days of Christmas on Black, Brown, & Unsolved 🤎


On Christmas Eve, 71-year-old psychologist and educator Barbara Wolf stopped to help someone who appeared stranded on the side of the road in Oxford Township, Michigan.


Helping people wasn’t something she did — it was who she was.


Instead of a routine act of kindness, Barbara Wolf was met with violence. She was shot and later died from her injuries. Her daughter, who was with her, survived. Other Good Samaritans were also threatened and injured during the same series of events.


This case raises urgent questions about early release, repeat violent offenders, and the real consequences of systemic failures — especially when those failures turn acts of compassion into acts of tragedy.
