Joshua Thompson, 27, of Montgomery, Alabama, was found dead on the U.S. Highway 31 bridge between Prattville and Montgomery on Thursday afternoon, November 5, 2020. An initial examination found multiple gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators concluded the bridge was a dumping site and that Thompson had been killed at a different, undisclosed location.

Police developed a single suspect, 27-year-old Pierre Tremore Woods, and obtained a murder warrant for him. On Tuesday, January 19, 2021, members of the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Warrants Division and the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force located Woods at a residence on Massachusetts Avenue and took him into custody without incident on a murder charge in connection with Thompson’s death.
