The search for a woman accused of killing two VDOT contract workers in Chesterfield County has now crossed the Virginia-North Carolina line.

Investigators believe Dennikia Rachelle Boyce, 37, fled into North Carolina after the July 24 shootings of Phillip Wilson, 34, and Rai’shon DeLarge, 30, at a VDOT equipment yard near Route 1 and Route 288 in Chesterfield. Both men were contractors working for a company hired by VDOT.

According to newly released federal court documents, surveillance footage allegedly captured Boyce in Ahoskie and Conway, North Carolina, just days after the killings.

Then, on July 28, authorities in Northampton County found a blue Honda Accord believed to belong to Boyce abandoned behind a church in Pendleton, North Carolina.

That discovery has investigators believing Boyce crossed the state line while attempting to avoid arrest.

Boyce is accused of shooting both men on July 24. DeLarge was pronounced dead at the scene, while Wilson died later at a hospital. Authorities have described the shooting as domestic-related and say Boyce knew at least one of the victims.

Now facing federal charge

In addition to two Virginia counts of second-degree murder, Boyce now faces a federal charge of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, according to the federal court documents reported Tuesday by 12 On Your Side.

The U.S. Marshals Service has already classified Boyce as a major fugitive case and is offering up to $10,000 for information leading to her arrest. The agency warns that she should be considered armed and dangerous.

Authorities say Boyce previously worked for the Virginia Department of Corrections and separated from the agency in August 2025.

For folks in northeastern North Carolina and southern Virginia, the latest development gives the long-running manhunt a much more local connection.

Boyce remains at large.

Anyone who believes they have information about her whereabouts should not approach her and should contact law enforcement. The U.S. Marshals Service is accepting tips at 1-877-WANTED-2.
