"Sam was as kind a person as I’ve ever known."
According to the Detroit Free Press, Woll previously worked for Democrat Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin and was part of Attorney General Dana Nessel's re-election campaign.
In a statement, Nessel said, "I am shocked, saddened, and horrified to learn of Sam’s brutal murder." She added, "Sam was as kind a person as I’ve ever known. She was driven by her sincere love of her community, state, and country. Sam truly used her faith and activism to create a better place for everyone."
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan regarded Woll as "one of Detroit's great young leaders." He noted, "Just weeks ago, I shared a day of joy with Sam at the dedication of the newly renovated Downtown Synagogue."
"It was a project she successfully led with great pride and enthusiasm," Duggan said.
The rabbi for Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue, which Woll led since 2022, said the congregation is "shocked and saddened" by her "unexpected death." They added, "At this point, we do not have more information, but will share more when it becomes available. May her memory be a blessing."
Woll was listed in The Detroit Jewish News as one of its "36 under 36" in 2017 for her work as the founder of the Muslim-Jewish Forum of Detroit. The article said, "By extending her hand and creating space for connection between Muslims and Jews, she has exemplified the values of healing the world."
Police said they responded to a 911 call around 6:30 AM on Saturday morning and found her body with multiple stab wounds outside of her Joliet Place home. As agencies across the country are cautioning about increased anti-Semetic threats, authorities have not released a motive for the attack, and are asking anyone with information to contact the Detroit Police's Homicide section at 313-596-2260.
