The Washington Parish Coroner's Office has identified the pedestrian killed July 21, 2024 in a crash on La. Hwy. 21, near Lees Creek south of Bogalusa. The decedent has been identified as Joshua Morris, age 42 and of West Feliciana Parish. He was known to be a transient from that area.

The Coroner's Office reports that they received calls from all over the United States with prospective identities, received assistance from the social media community, and followed up on hundreds of tips and leads on potential matches.

Washington Parish Coroner's Office would like to thank the public, and assisting agencies, for the assistance in obtaining this positive ID. This shows how communities can come together for a purpose.
