A 17-year-old is wanted in connection with the killings of two teenagers in Orange County.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said they’re seeking a juvenile petition against a 17-year-old for two counts of first-degree murder.

“We have identified a suspect in this case. We will now work with local, state, and federal authorities to apprehend and present the suspect to the court system,” Orange County Sheriff Charles Blackwood said.

The sheriff’s office said, on Sunday, men riding four-wheelers discovered the bodies of Devin Clark, 18, and Lyric Woods, 14, in an area of Buckhorn Road in Orange County.

The sheriff’s office said family members reported Woods, who’s a ninth grader at Cedar Ridge High, missing Saturday afternoon and a missing person report was filed in the National Crime Information Center Index around 3:44 p.m. Blackwood said Devin Clark’s family contacted the Mebane Police Department Sunday with concerns about his whereabouts.

Clark’s mother, Tiffany Concepcion, said he was a student at Eastern Alamance High.

“At the end of the day, I just want justice. I’m sorry for her loss, I’m sorry for mine, it hurts. I wouldn’t want this for no parent, but at the end of the day, I need, I have to have answers,” Concepcion said.

Investigators are still waiting for a report from the medical examiner to confirm the victims’ identities.

Police have not released a photo of the possible suspect at this time.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Orange County Sheriff’s Office at 919-644-3050.
