Do you know who killed Joseph \Jo-Jo\ Rodgers in 2014? A tragic story unfolded in Virginia Beach when a young, recently married couple was found deceased in their apartment. The victims were identified as 23-year-old Talon Rodgers and his wife, Alisa Wash. Both had been shot to death. The discovery was made after friends became concerned when they were unable to contact the couple. A neighbor ultimately called 911, leading police to the grim scene at the Thalia Garden apartment complex.
The couple had just been married for about a month before their lives were cut short.
The investigation into the double homicide took a complex turn when police announced that Talon's younger brother, 20-year-old Collin Rodgers, was missing. Collin had reportedly been staying with the couple at the time of their deaths. Authorities considered him to be an endangered adult due to the violent nature of the crime and the unknown circumstances surrounding his disappearance. A search for Collin was initiated, and police released information about his vehicle and distinctive tattoos in the hopes that the public could help locate him. He was last seen at his parents' home about a week before the bodies were discovered.
Weeks later, Collin Rodgers was located and arrested in New York City on charges that were unrelated to the murders. In a later development, child pornography charges that had been filed against him in Virginia Beach were withdrawn by prosecutors. To date, no arrests have been made in the murders of Talon Rodgers and Alisa Wash. The case remains an active investigation, and a significant reward has been offered by the family for information that leads to an arrest. Police have indicated that the crime occurred inside the apartment, which has presented challenges in gathering evidence. The community and the families of the young couple await answers and justice in this tragic and unsolved case.
