A teen is being sought on murder charges in after the bodies of high school students Lyric Woods and Devin Clark were found in Orange County, NC.
A 17-year-old is wanted for the murder of slain high school students Lyric Woods and Devin Clark, according to Orange County Sheriff's Office.Woods, 14, and Clark, 18 were found dead on an Orange County trail by ATV drivers on Sunday.
The suspect's name has not been released because they are not an adult. Since December, 2019, 16- and 17-year-olds who commit crimes in North Carolina are not automatically charged as adults. However, with probable cause, a judge has the ability to transfer the case into the adult justice system. Students at Cedar Ridge High School have also been wearing white shirts with Lyric Woods' name on them to class this week.
Clark loved riding dirt bikes. In his honor, friends and family plan to do a dirt bike ride-a-long in Mebane around 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.The Orange County Sheriff's Office said men riding ATVs on Sunday found the two bodies around 3 p.m. near a power-line easement in the western part of the county. Investigators said both victims appeared to have been shot.
According to the sheriff's office, family members reported Woods missing Saturday afternoon and a deputy entered the information in the National Crime Information Center index around 3:44 pm. The family said they went to sleep Friday night with the back door of the home locked; when they woke up Saturday the back door had been unlocked with no evidence of a forced entry.
