Orange County -- October 8, 2022: On October 5, 2022 the Hillsborough County Sherrif's Office announced that authorities detained a juvenile in connection with the murders of Devin Clark and Lyric Woods.
On September 21, 2022 Wnctimes reported the sherrif's office filed a petition for two counts of first-degree murder against a 17-year-old in the deaths of 18-year-old Devin Clark and 14-year-old Lyric Woods.
Sheriff Charles Blackwood said, “We hope this apprehension provides some relief to the families and friends of Devin and Lyric, who have experienced an excruciating loss. Obviously, the capture of the suspect does not restore their loved one to them. The grieving process is a long one, and we hope the community will continue to support them in their pain.”
Under North Carolina General Statutes, no one at the Orange County Sheriff’s Office has the ability or authority to release any further information until such time the case is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court. This also prohibits the release of the juvenile’s name and extends to the release of details such as who apprehended the individual, as well as when and where the apprehension took place.
Blackwood added, “We understand our community is hungry for information to help process this tragedy; however, the laws regarding juvenile confidentiality are ironclad. We have no ability to set them aside, even given the heightened interest in this case.”
Wnctimes will bring updates as they become available.
