ALBEMARLE, N.C. — One suspect has turned himself in and another suspect is still wanted in connection to a deadly shooting that unfolded Wednesday morning in Albemarle.
The Albemarle Police Department said a shooting was reported along North 6th Street, in a neighborhood near Hwy. 52, around 10:25 a.m. Wednesday. Officers arrived and found 18-year-old Dy'Zavious Izayah Bivens dead.
As the investigation into Bivens' death got started, police identified two suspects: Damani Jazquez Wall of Albemarle and Jamie Jermaine Mack of Kannapolis, both 18 years old. They're wanted for assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury.
On Friday, July 26, Damani Wall turned himself into the Albemarle Police Department. He was booked in the Stanly County jail.
Police are still searching for Jamie Mack.
WCNC Charlotte has chosen to use these mugshots because both suspects are actively wanted.
Additional charges may be filed as the case remains under investigation. Police did note it appeared everyone involved knew each other and that this was not a random shooting.

Note: WCNC instituted a policy in March 2021 regarding the broadcast or posting of mugshots.
WCNC will only air or post a mugshot if the person has been formally charged with a crime and in a few other cases. The exceptions include: If it appears the person could be a danger to themselves or others or if they are wanted by authorities; to differentiate between people with a common name; if the photos could encourage more victims to come forward. The news-editorial leadership may also decide to use a mugshot based on the severity of the crime(s) committed and/or the level of public interest in the crime and ensuing criminal proceedings.
