On September 24, 2022, 32-year-old Terrance Marquise Washington was found on the porch of a residence in Saint-Ann, Missouri, with multiple gunshot wounds. St. Ann police responded to reports of shots fired in the 10000 block of Douglas Court at about 12:15 a.m.; Washington received medical attention at the scene but was pronounced dead there.

Investigators say a 30-year-old man, James Cody, drove to Washington’s home and used a burner phone to text Washington, allegedly luring him outside. When Washington stepped onto the porch, Cody allegedly opened fire and fled. Cell phone location data reportedly placed both Cody’s personal phone and the burner phone at Washington’s home at the time of the shooting.

Within days, James Cody was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful possession of a firearm; charging documents note he is a convicted felon. Cody was held at the St. Louis County Jail on $1 million bond. Does anyone have information about Washington, his movements that night, or about activity on Douglas Court around that time?
