WAGONER, Okla. (AP) – Wagoner County authorities say a second person of interest has been identified in the death of a 15-year-old boy whose burning body was found near Wagoner.
Sheriff Chris Elliott told reporters Monday that investigators have contacted the man, but said there have been no arrests for the death of Brennan Davis of Okay.

Cody Austin Thompson, 23, of Okay has been named a person of interest in the homicide.

Davis’ body was found on fire last Wednesday in the Jackson Bay area near Fort Gibson Lake and his body was identified by the state medical examiner’s office using dental records.

Elliott says Davis had been shot several times.

Josh Harrington was arrested on a complaint of obstruction of justice Sunday in the case, but is still listed as a person of interest, not as a suspect.
