Second suspect arrested in Creekwood murder

A second teen is in jail charged with a Labor Day murder in Wilmington’s Creekwood community.

Seventeen year-old Thaddeus Boney is charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery in the death of 45-year-old Michelle Crutchfield.

Fellow suspect Obrian Hester was in court yesterday. Police arrested the 17-year-old Hester last week and charged him with murder and armed robbery as well.

Investigators say Crutchfield was shot and killed on North 30th Street September 1, 2008.

Boney and Hester are both in the New Hanover Detention Center without bond.
