Cody Lee Wilder, 21, of Sanford, North Carolina, died on August 15, 2016 after being found at his home at 828 McPherson Road with a single gunshot wound to the chest. Deputies responding to two calls at the residence — one reporting a fight between two men and a separate report that a man had been shot — located Cody inside and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The conflict involved Cody’s roommate, 34-year-old Jason Vann Wayne Godfrey. The confrontation escalated into a physical struggle over a pistol that discharged, causing the fatal wound. Godfrey was charged with murder and taken into custody by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, held without bond at the Lee County Jail. Authorities have not released any further details about a motive or other possible suspects.
