🚨💔 Two VDOT Contractors Lost Their Lives — Virginia Authorities Launch Statewide Search for Suspect

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA — A statewide search is underway after two Virginia Department of Transportation contractors lost their lives during a July 24 incident at a VDOT equipment yard in Chesterfield County.

Authorities are searching for 37-year-old Dennikia Boyce, who is wanted on a m□rder charge in connection with the case. Virginia State Police and the U.S. Marshals Service are among the agencies involved in the effort to locate her.

The victims were identified as 30-year-old Rai’Shon Eugene Delarge and 34-year-old Philip Avery Wilson, both of Emporia, Virginia.

According to investigators, the incident occurred at a VDOT equipment yard near Route 1 and Route 288. Emergency responders were called to the location following reports of gunfire.

Delarge was pronounced gone at the scene despite emergency efforts. Wilson was transported to a nearby hospital but later pᴀssed away from the injuries he sustained.

Authorities believe the incident may have been connected to a domestic situation and have indicated that Boyce knew at least one of the victims. Investigators have not, however, publicly provided extensive details about the relationship or what may have led to the confrontation.

The circumstances have left investigators working to reconstruct the events surrounding the incident while attempting to determine Boyce’s current whereabouts.

Since the incident, multiple law enforcement agencies have continued following leads and searching for the wanted woman. Authorities have not announced that she has been located.

Officials are urging members of the public to remain cautious. Anyone who believes they have seen Boyce is specifically advised not to approach or attempt to confront her.

Instead, authorities are asking people to contact law enforcement immediately and provide information that could help investigators determine her location.

The warning comes as detectives continue gathering evidence, interviewing potential witnesses, and examining information that may help establish what happened at the VDOT facility.

For the families of Delarge and Wilson, the investigation has brought an unbearable loss.

Both men were working as VDOT contractors when their lives were suddenly cut short. Their deaths have affected not only their relatives and friends but also coworkers and members of Virginia’s transportation community who are now mourning their colleagues.

The case has also raised concern throughout Chesterfield County as authorities continue searching for the person wanted in connection with the incident.

At this stage, investigators have not publicly released a detailed motive. They are continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding the case and the relationship between Boyce and the victims.

Authorities are asking anyone who may have information about Boyce’s whereabouts or who may have witnessed something relevant around the time of the incident to come forward.

For investigators, even a small piece of information could help establish a timeline or provide a lead in locating the wanted suspect.

For the families, however, the search represents something deeply personal: finding answers after the sudden loss of two loved ones.

🕊️ Rai’Shon Eugene Delarge was 30. Philip Avery Wilson was 34. Their families are now grieving while authorities continue the search for answers.

Anyone with information about Dennikia Boyce’s whereabouts should contact Virginia State Police or 911 and should not attempt to approach her directly.
