Fugitive sought in fatal shooting of 2 VDOT contractors believed to be in North Carolina

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — The mothers of two men shot and killed at a Chesterfield County worksite are speaking out six weeks after the shooting — demanding the woman accused of pulling the trigger turn herself in.

Dennikia Boyce is accused of shooting and killing Philip Wilson and Rai'Shon DeLarge on the morning of July 24 at the intersection of Route 1 and Route 288, where the two men were working at a Virginia Department of Transportation site. Police say Boyce fled Virginia after the shooting and could be in North Carolina.

"You was bold enough to go and commit the crimes, in broad daylight at their job, but you're not bold enough to go ahead and face the consequences of your actions," Sharone Brown, DeLarge's mother, said.

Brown says Boyce was her son's ex-girlfriend, and that the two met while DeLarge was incarcerated at Greensville Correctional Center.

"She met my son while he was in prison in Greenville, and she was the correction officer there...I'm hurt because we welcomed you into our home, I'm angry because this shouldn't have ever happened. He broke up with you as a woman, just okay. It didn't work out. Move on. Instead of this happening," Brown said.

Brown also reflected on the kind of person her son was.

"An amazing person with a big heart that you would be honored to know. That's who my son was. That's who my son is. When I hear his name, or I see how people speak on him, you know, on social media, it brings a smile to my face because it's like my son touched a lot of people," Brown said.

Darlene Gandy-Wilson, Wilson's mother, also addressed Boyce directly.

"You have taken my son from his sister and from his brother and from his innocent one-year-old baby," Gandy-Wilson said.

According to a federal criminal complaint filed Aug. 31, Boyce fled Virginia after the shooting and was tracked by surveillance footage to locations in Ahoskie, North Carolina, on July 24, and Conway, North Carolina, on July 26. Her vehicle was located July 28 behind a church in Pendleton, North Carolina.

The U.S. Marshals Service, Virginia State Police, and the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force are all involved in the manhunt.

Both mothers share the same message for Boyce.

"Turn yourself in. Two families was affected by what you've done. Turn yourself in," Brown said.

"Do I want to hate her? I do, but I can't because that's not how I was raised. Just because people do wrong to you doesn't give you the right to turn around and hate them," Gandy-Wilson said. "I forgive her, I really do and wherever she is, I just want her to turn herself in."

Authorities describe Boyce as 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing about 160 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair.

U.S. Marshals are offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to her arrest. Anyone with information on Boyce's whereabouts is asked to call 1-877-WANTED-2.
