When police approached Clark he began stabbing himself in the neck.
Devins’ body was found Sunday underneath a tarp in Utica, New York, after an officer encountered Clark. The 21-year-old suspect had emergency surgery but is expected to survive, police said.
The two attended a concert together Saturday night in New York City, where they reportedly got into some sort of argument at the venue. They arrived in Utica sometime in the early morning hours Sunday and went to a location on a dead-end street. The argument “progressed” until Clark used a large, black handled knife to kill the teenager, according to WDEF.
Investigators believe Clark then posted pictures of Devins’ body online, where at least one of them was widely circulated, Utica police Lt. Bryan Coromato said.
The case is being investigated as a murder and attempted suicide.
