Overview

  • Ashley White, 29, was convicted of second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and robbery in the 2020 death of her boyfriend, Cody DeLisa, 28.
  • The murder followed a heated exchange where DeLisa questioned White's ability to secure a job after a recent interview, which deeply upset her.
  • White met a stranger, Michael Stratton (then identifying himself as 'Scott'), on a bus ride home and conspired with him to kill DeLisa, claiming he had been abusive.
  • DeLisa was shot twice in the head at his home by White and Stratton, who later stole his wallet; Stratton left the area shortly after, and the two never reunited.
  • Stratton was later identified through a separate case but deemed incompetent to stand trial; White's sentencing is scheduled for April 4, 2025.
