HUNTINGTON â A man accused in a double homicide outside a problematic Huntington bar was indicted by a Cabell County grand jury this month.
Devon Maurice Carey, 26, of Detroit, Michigan, was charged with murder and use or presentation of a firearm during the commission of a felony. He has been jailed at Western Regional Jail in Barboursville since January, when he was extradited back to the state.
Two warrants charging Carey with murder were filed in Cabell County last September in the shooting deaths of Audra J. Perry, 28, of Huntington, and Marcus D. Graham, 29, of Michigan. However, he was not arrested until December 2020 in Franklin County, Ohio.

HUNTINGTON â In his 25 years with the Huntington Police Department, Chief Ray Cornwell said he learned about the importance of empathy.
Cornwellâs retirement was announced in June. His last day was Friday. Mayor Steve Williams appointed HPD Capt. Eric Corder to serve as interim police chief.
Cornwell was appointed to become police chief in April 2020. He spent about four months serving as interim police chief after former Chief Hank Dial became city manager. Cornwell said when he began his career, he did not have plans to become chief of police.
âWhen Hank decided to leave, there was a void and I felt obligated to step up. I had always planned on working 25 years and then retiring, so it was a hard debate on whether I should stay longer or not,â Cornwell said. âBut after a lot of deliberation, consideration, discussions with my wife, we just decided it would be better for me and my family to follow through with our plans.â
