Damien Donall Dancy, a 17-year-old African American male, was found murdered on November 30, 2019, in Brogden, North Carolina. His body was discovered lying in the roadway on Camp Trailee Road in Dudley with multiple gunshot wounds after a “shots fired” call brought the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office to the scene about 3:20 a.m. An autopsy confirmed the cause of death as gunshot wounds.

Detectives from the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office continue to investigate and have interviewed persons of interest while following leads, but no arrests have been announced and the suspect remains at large. Damien’s mother, Valerie DuPoy, said he had hopes and dreams and noted the family’s added heartbreak after losing another son on the same date 11 years earlier.

Anyone with information that could help solve Damien’s murder is asked to submit a tip through the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office App or contact Crimestoppers.
