In the late summer of 2020, the life of Audra J. Perry, a 28-year-old Caucasian female, was tragically cut short. On Thursday, September 3, 2020, in Huntington, West Virginia, Audra was killed in a shooting incident. The event also resulted in the death of another individual, 29-year-old Marcus D. Graham of Michigan. The shooting occurred outside what was described as an unlicensed bar on 10th Avenue.
Following the incident, law enforcement officials began an investigation that quickly
led to the identification of a suspect. An arrest warrant was issued for Devon Carey, who was 25 years old at the time. He was wanted in connection with the double murder of Perry and Graham. Authorities in Huntington sought public assistance in locating Carey and encouraged anyone with information to contact the police department's anonymous tip line or call 911.
Audra, known to her loved ones as "Laney," was born on October 24, 1991, in Huntington. She was a valued employee, working as a Customer Service Associate for the AT&T call center in her hometown. Her family, including her mother, sister, and brother, were left to mourn her sudden and violent death. In her memory, her family requested that no formal services be held, and a local funeral home assisted with the arrangements.
