CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WTVD) — Chapel Hill Police said Tuesday night that they have identified one of the three suspects in an armed carjacking Saturday morning.

The car theft happened just before 2:30 a.m. Saturday in the 1500 block of East Franklin Street. The stolen vehicle was found two hours later in Durham.

On Tuesday, police said they were looking for 16-year-old Shaun Derek Dunn.
