Found Deceased NC - Devin Clark, 18, Lyric Woods, 14, found murdered after going missing in Alamance Co., 16 Sep 2022

[Seattle1]

I was just looking, because I had seen the same report, but have not found the link again yet. Neighbor said he had sat down to watch tv around 12-1, and heard the shots a few minutes after that, around 1:30 IIRC JMO

Wasn't that the witness account for the earlier reported shooting on a different date?

Discovery of teens' bodies in Orange County prompts homicide investigation

Monday night, the community came together in a vigil at Eastern High School and had a balloon release in tribute to Clark.

Clark's aunt attended the vigil, and she said the senior who was set to graduate in 2023, had a very special bond with his football teammates at the school where he played wide receiver.

“You couldn't ask for no other brothers, even though he had one, these boys stuck together, on the field, off the field, and everywhere," said Crystal Hughes, Clark's aunt. "He did what he was supposed to do. ... He impacted a lot of people, his siblings, his cousins they looked up to him.”

"The suspect has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder. While that obviously speaks for itself, this was not a random act," a sheriff's office spokesperson said when asked if there remains a threat to the public.

I agree, but… you never know if someone is going to go off the deep end further, especially if they have anger issues, feel trapped and that they’re being hunted down, etc. If this was targeted, they could still explode, take a hostage, kill someone else in order to try to get away, etc.

Thank you for posting this. It is indeed nerve wracking for us locals to have this suspect still on the run, and this helps.

ETA until I read the post from @JerseyWasHome2 lol

Nope, it was this one. It was reported on one of our local stations, or newspapers, but I cannot find a link to it now, so consider it rumor.

 

[elisimo]

So we are headed into the weekend with no information on the fugitive yet? If I lived around that area, I’d be pretty alarmed and frustrated with the situation. For all I know, there’s an armed and dangerous murderer on the run and police won’t indicate who or where or what?

Hopefully police at least updated the families somewhat? They are having to carry out funerals with the perpetrator still at large.

I live nearby, and I’m frustrated. I don’t necessarily feel there’s a threat to public safety, but there have been several threats at area schools, football games , etc. maybe coincidence, maybe not

This really doesn't fit the chronology for a 17 yr old assailant that allegedly shot two peers and has not been apprehended after 5 + days. The suspect isn't lying in wait about to attack the locals -- I'd bet money on it.

Following a similar case in WA where two 16 yr old teens burglarized, viciously stabbed, and shot a 51 yr old victim that was the former boyfriend of a suspect's mother.

This was also not a random act, and evidence presented in court at the defendant's bail-bond hearing for the juveniles included how LE found a defendant /family late at night packing an RV -- i.e., an obvious flight risk. And the other defendant tried to fake his disappearance after never showing up to football practice.

Ultimately, two juveniles, each charged with murder, are being held in juvenile detention on $1M bail each. And they will be prosecuted as adults due to their serious actions.

I know he had a mask on, but I didn’t see any evidence of being beaten up on his face. GD has a pretty face. Nope, it didn't happen. GD would never let it happen. JMO

I’m familiar with that other case, but I stand by my opinion that if someone killed once, they have it “in them” to kill again if cornered or panicked. Their goal may not be to kill anyone else, as their first goal was met, and may have been a personal vendetta, but one never knows. In general, no, that person may not be a danger to society, but what if they’re never captured? They’re a minor who had a weapon and ammo. And someone else pisses them off later on in their life? They killed once, and probably wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. Especially if they felt their freedom is at stake since they have not been apprehended yet.

True for a spree killer but I don't think that's the case here.

Do you think the US Marshals are after the suspect? I wonder at what point OCSO would enlist outside help to locate the suspect. We’re past 72h+ since the announcement about the petition.

 

[borndem]

Could this be a hate crime? Grrrrrr.

 

[SteveP]

I don't personally think it is more than a very slim possibility, but does anyone think there is any chance this 17-year-old has gone off and killed himself somewhere, and that is why he hasn't been found?

IMO, at his age - he would have been located by now. Social media would be all over this.

North Carolina authorities searching for teen accused of killing high school freshman and ex-football player

Lyric Woods, 14, and Devin Clark, 18, disappeared over the weekend and were found dead Monday by men on four-wheelers, authorities said.

www.nbcnews.com

In a statement, the sheriff’s office said officials filed a juvenile petition against the suspect Tuesday, initiating a process to have the teen tried as an adult in the state's superior court system.

Orange County Sheriff Charles Blackwood said his investigators identified the suspect with the help of other law enforcement agencies.

“We will now work with local, state and federal authorities to apprehend and present the suspect to the court system,” he said.

Blackwood did not identify a possible motive.

Surely someone knows something. If it was not a random crime (and OCSO has implied it was not random), then I’m sure there are rumblings among friends, acquaintances, peers about who might be involved. Lyric probably would have told a friend that she planned to sneak out to meet up with Devin and so-and-so. MOO

Any reports of missing 17 year olds in that area. ?

Starting to look fishy.

I had the same thought when LE announced they had identified a suspect that they were planning to arrest, but was not yet in custody. That announcement alerted the suspect who may have panicked.

That is a possibility. If they’ve identified the suspect, they would know when they lived. If the family/friends/work etc didn’t know they were a suspect, then I would think they would report them missing, but then we would probably never hear from LE until they found the suspect.

I dunno. I still don’t understand why nothing seems to be moving and why they would announce that they had a suspect before they had this person in custody. It’s like giving them a head start by counting to 10.

I’ve said it before, if the suspect is the driver then why not give us a description of the car so we can be on the lookout. I understand that it could identify the suspect, but someone may know where they are hiding.

To the locals:

Hang in there y’all.

I’m just down the road in Durham and understand the uneasy feeling because, well, I live in Durham.

I feel like the suspect may be in G’boro or Durham but always be aware of your surroundings. Try not to be scared or alter your life, because this does seem to be targeted.

Thinking of y’all and sending you a virtual coffee. ((hugs))
