MEBANE, N.C. — Saturday, the family and friends of Devin Clark, one of two teens found dead in Orange County, gathered on dirt-bikes, four-wheelers and sports cars for a memorial ride.

Hundreds of people honked, squealed their tires and drove down West Holt Street in Mebane in support of Clark’s family.

Clark was killed last week along with his friend Lyric Woods.

Clark's favorite colors included black and blue and his family asked friends and neighbors who came out and support to show those colors off.

Mebane police were in the area to help with crowd control if necessary.

The search continues for the 17-year-old accused of murdering the two teens in Orange County.

Because of the suspect's age, law enforcement have released very few details.

Clark and Woods, who family members said were friends, were reported missing last weekend. Two bodies were found around two and a half miles away from Woods' home, and family members said the bodies were those of the missing teens. The identities of the two teens and their official cause of death is still being determined by the North Carolina Medical Examiner's Office.

The motive for the double killing is still under investigation.

The funeral for Woods was held Saturday morning.
