Kelton Washington, 27, of Tallahassee, Florida, was found dead on December 9, 2018, in Gadsden County after being kidnapped and murdered. He had been reported missing the same day; investigators traced his last movements to a Budget Inn on West Tennessee Street in Tallahassee where security footage showed Washington and a woman entering a room early on December 10. Later that morning two men forced Washington from the room and put him into a black car.

Two people were arrested in connection with the case: Christopher Rumph, 38, and Calandra Cooper, 32, each charged with homicide and kidnapping. Cooper at first lied about her movements but later admitted she had a casual relationship with Washington and was dating Rumph. She said she, Rumph and a third person drove to Tallahassee to meet Washington for a drug deal; after the meeting Washington and Cooper went to the Budget Inn and the kidnapping followed. Cooper said Washington was taken to Strickland Road in Gadsden County and shot multiple times; she heard yelling and gunfire and was threatened when she considered talking.

Washington’s body was recovered two days after he was taken. The investigation continued to seek the third suspect involved in the planning and killing. Does anyone have information about Washington’s movements that night or the identity of the third person?
