Colorado Woman Convicted of Murdering Boyfriend With Stranger She Met on Bus
Ashley White was found guilty of second-degree murder after conspiring with a man she had just met to kill her boyfriend, Cody DeLisa, following an argument about her job prospects.
- 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.
