Devin Clark was an 18-year-old senior at Eastern Alamance High School who was shot to death on September 18, 2022, in a rural part of Orange County. He loved football, basketball, rapping, riding bikes and spending time with friends and family. Devin and 14-year-old Lyric Woods of Orange County were found by two ATV riders on a trail off Buckhorn Road; both had been shot multiple times. Devin sustained at least five gunshot wounds, including three in the back, one in the foot and one in the back of the head, injuries that investigators say are consistent with being shot while trying to flee.

A primary suspect was identified as 17-year-old Issiah Mehki Ross, a classmate who was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and tried as an adult; he was taken into custody and denied bond. Devin’s mother, Tiffany Concepcion, said she felt relief when the suspect was arrested after 17 days. The community mourned the loss of both teens and rallied to support their families.

If anyone knew Devin, Lyric or has information about what happened on the trail off Buckhorn Road, please come forward.
