Derrick Demont DeWalt, a 34-year-old African American man, was fatally shot in the chest on the morning of February 3, 2018, at 708 Frye Bridge Road in Davidson County, North Carolina. He was born February 9, 1983, in Davie County, the son of Darrell Dyson and Louise DeWalt. He attended Davie County Schools, earned his GED, and worked for Dominion Construction Company in Winston-Salem.

Investigators identified 18-year-old Victor Manuel Cervantes-Ramirez of North Wilkesboro as the primary suspect. He was arrested at his mother’s home in Wilkes County and charged with murder and attempted murder for an alleged attempt on a witness at the scene. Later in 2018 Cervantes-Ramirez pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, and received a 39-year Department of Corrections sentence.

Does anyone have memories of Derrick or information about the events at Frye Bridge Road that could add detail to this account?
