On the morning of Friday, July 24, 2026, gunfire at a Virginia Department of Transportation equipment staging area in Chesterfield County, near Route 1 and Route 288, left two VDOT contractors dead. Rai’Shon Eugene Delarge, 30, of Emporia, was pronounced dead at the scene. His coworker, 34-year-old Philip Avery Wilson, also of Emporia, was critically injured and later died at a local hospital. Both men worked for a company contracted by VDOT.

Virginia State Police say the killings were domestic-related and identified 37-year-old Dennikia Rachelle Boyce as the suspect. Authorities reported Boyce was known to at least one of the victims and that one victim appeared to be specifically targeted. Boyce fled after the shooting and has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder; the U.S. Marshals Service has since joined the fugitive investigation and a reward up to $10,000 is being offered for information leading to her arrest. As reported, Boyce remains at large.

If anyone has information about Rai’Shon Delarge, Philip Wilson, or the whereabouts of Dennikia Boyce, please share what you know with the authorities.
