Today marked the 17th annual, Three Kings’ Day Parade in Downtown Cary, presented by Diamante Arts & Cultural Center.
As parades are a spectator event more than anything, we won’t ruin the recap with a lot of talking. We’ll just get straight to the highlights!
The Cary Police Dept has received notification that 35-year-old Ian Delauder, has died from the injuries he sustained on Sunday, March 19, 2023. His death has been ruled a suicide. Delauder was the suspect in the death of 34-year-old Cecily Anne Walker (aka Cecily Anne Walker-Scott) of Raleigh, NC whose body was found in a homemade firepit at 618 Dorset Drive.
The homeowner found with a self-inflicted gunshot has been identified as Ian Delauder, 35 years of age, of Cary, NC. Ian Delauder was transported to the hospital and is currently being treated for his injuries. His condition is critical.
Cary Police have confirmed that Ian Delauder is a suspect in this case. Here are two arrest records, that have both occurred within the last 6 months.
The Cary Police Department has released the 9-1-1 call stemming from the presence of a large fire at 618 Dorset Drive in Cary, NC on March 19th 2023, where the homeowner was found in critical condition with a single gunshot wound, which Cary PD have described as self-inflicted. Upon extinguishing the fire, human remains were found in the burn pit. In the 9-1-1 call, you can hear the neighbor describe the fire as 10-15 feet wide with flames reaching above his 5 foot tall fence.
Cary is quickly becoming a hub for pickleball enthusiasts. In recent years, pickleball has become increasingly popular as more people are drawn to its fun, competitive nature. Our town offers a variety of courts and clubs that cater to beginners and players of all levels.
The Imps didn’t let the fun of the parade, alter their focus. With pride on the line, and honoring the Class of 1992, Cary’s football team set about the business of routing the Green Hope Falcons. By the end of the first quarter, Cary was leading 21-0, getting strong play from their offensive line and leaning on their powerful playmaker, JoJo Williams. Williams had two scores in the first quarter, finishing the game with three rushes for pay dirt.

If you’ve walked or driven through Downtown Cary, you’ve possibly seen Margot Bennett out and about with one of her trainees. A trainer of service dogs, Bennett likes to bring her four-legged students out to learn commands and socialize amongst their friendly neighbors and fellow Caryites!
Last night’s matchup between Cary High’s Imps and Athens Drive’s Jaguars ended with the Jaguars hanging on to win 20-14. However, the scoreboard tells only half the story.

One piece of the story has fallen in to place, as we asked police whether Ian Delauder had interaction with the Cary Fire Department (first to arrive on the scene) or the Cary Police Department prior to the self-inflicted gunshot wound. Sergeant Alexander told us, “In listening to radio traffic, it is believed that Mr. Delauder suffered his gunshot wound after the arrival of the fire department. We do not know the timing of his wound in relation to the arrival of police officers. He did not have an interaction with the police.”
