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.
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.”
