The Wichita Falls Police Department is looking for information to help locate a murder suspect.
Cody Ryan Stage was arrested in connection with the murder of Donald Best back in November 2020. Stage was able to bond out in February but has since cut off his ankle monitor and is currently on the run.
Donald Best was shot several times in the 1400 block of Taylor on Wednesday, November 4 at around 7:30 pm. He later died of his injuries at the hospital, according to Texoma’s Homepage. Stage and Raymond Alaniz were both arrested and charged with capital murder.
