North Carolina authorities have apprehended the 17-year-old suspect in the September 17 murders of Devin Clark and Lyric Woods.
Clark, 18, and Woods, 14, were discovered shot to death that afternoon off Buckhorn Road in a rural part of Mebane. Their family reported them missing after the couple, who were pals, were last seen on the night of September 16.
“We hope that this fear brings some solace to Devin and Lyric’s families and friends, who have suffered a heartbreaking loss. Obviously, apprehending the suspect does not bring their loved one back to them. We hope that the community will continue to assist them in their grief “Orange County Sheriff Charles Blackwood stated in a statement released on Wednesday.
Under North Carolina law, officials cannot divulge any additional information about minor crime suspects, such as the suspect’s name.
