Myrtle Beach Police Lt. Joey Crosby says the Black suspects are Willie Columbus Lacy, 26, and David Davell Ward, 24, both of Greensboro, N.C.

Police say that officers began an investigation Thursday after learning that a missing Black juvenile was possibly in the Myrtle Beach area.

Through the investigation, officers learned that an ad existed on the Backpage website about the missing Black juvenile.
