A Biloxi woman has been sentenced to life in prison, plus an additional 30 years, for homicide and robbery in Harrison County.
Angel ‘Lexy’ May Pierce, 30, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and armed robbery in connection with the July 3, 2022, killing of 24-year-old Cody Smith.
According to Assistant District Attorney Chris Daniel, Smith was last seen in Harrison County with Pierce and a co-defendant. His body was later found in De Lisle by the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office after the Byram Police Department provided a tip regarding his disappearance.
Pierce’s co-defendant is scheduled to go to trial in late April.
