In the quiet community of Sawyerville, Alabama, a grim discovery shattered the autumn peace in early November 2021. The bodies of Shalondria Grey-Chavers, a 24-year-old female, and Devyn Sterling, also 24, were found concealed in a shed. The couple, who had been romantically involved, were reported missing before their discovery, with investigators believing they were killed on November 5, 2021.
The investigation into the double homicide, led by the Hale County Sheriff's Office with
assistance from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, quickly led to arrests. Within days, four individuals were taken into custody. Two teenagers, 16-year-old Jaligha Brantley and 16-year-old Daquaviin Wynn, faced the grave charge of capital murder. Authorities suggested that the motive behind the violent act was robbery.
Alongside the two teens, two older individuals were also implicated in the aftermath of the crime. Damyan Holifield, Jr., aged 21, and 18-year-old Cardell Wynn were both charged with hindering prosecution. All four suspects were subsequently booked into the Hale County Jail. At the time of their arrests, it was believed that the suspects and victims were acquainted with one another. Further details regarding the trials, potential convictions, and sentencing of the four individuals charged in connection with the deaths of Shalondria Grey-Chavers and Devyn Sterling are not available in public records.
