Still looking for suspect(s) in death of Isiah Terrell Billy

Staff Reports

A little over a year ago 30-year-old Isiah Terrell Billy was found dead in a wash in Shiprock on the Navajo Nation.

The cause of death was determined to be strangulation.

Now the FBI has doubled the reward for identification, arrest and conviction of those responsible for Billy’s death to $10,000.

"The FBI and our partners on the Navajo Nation are committed to holding accountable those responsible for violent crime," Special Agent in Charge Raul Bujanda of the Albuquerque FBI Division said. "Victims like Isiah Billy deserve justice, and we're hoping the publicity that comes with this higher reward will prompt someone to come forward and help us solve this crime."

Billy lived in Shiprock and was found east of the Sinclair gas station near Mile Marker 23 on U. S. Highway 64.

The FBI and Navajo Nation Division of Public Safety are investigating.

Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at (505) 889-1300 or go online at tips.fbi.gov.
