Trevon Woodards, a parolee with a history of violent offenses, has been charged in the unprovoked assault on Canada Rinaldi, who is determined to proceed with her wedding despite severe injuries.

Canada Rinaldi, 27, was violently assaulted on March 22, 2025, during her bachelorette party in Dallas, suffering a broken nose, three broken teeth, and a concussion.
The suspect, Trevon Woodards, a 27-year-old recently paroled man with a criminal record, was arrested on March 28 and charged in connection with the attack.
The assault, which occurred in the Deep Ellum neighborhood, was captured on a rideshare driver's dashcam, showing the suspect striking Rinaldi without provocation.
A GoFundMe campaign for Rinaldi's medical expenses has surpassed its $15,000 goal, raising over $17,000 as of March 29, reflecting strong community support.
Rinaldi is recovering physically and emotionally and remains resolute in her plans to marry, despite the trauma and ongoing questions about the motive for the attack.
