Andrew Jacob DeRenzy was 16 when his body was found face down on McKinnon Farm Road in Hope Mills, North Carolina, on May 28, 2016. He had been blindfolded and shot; investigators described the scene as an execution in an unpaved section of the road, with two bullets recovered in the dirt beneath him. A bloodied baseball bat and .380 caliber revolver casings were also recovered.

Andrew’s family reported him missing on May 30 after failing to reach him for two days and identified the body the following day. About $120 was taken from him and his car was missing for weeks before being located; the person then in possession said it had been sold to them. Police said narcotics may have been involved and noted rumors of gang-related activity, but motive remained unclear.

Multiple young men were arrested in connection with the case; police stated that one of them had pulled the trigger. Does anyone have information about Andrew, his movements in late May 2016, or the vehicle that was taken?
