The Douglas County Sheriff's Office is renewing its request for information as to the whereabouts of a homicide suspect who killed a Grants Pass man last week.

Detectives said Gauge Douglas James Main of Riddle is wanted in connection with the homicide of 20-year-old Devonte Lovell Clark of Grants Pass. Main was last known to be in the northern California area and a nationwide felony warrant has been issued for his arrest.

On Monday, November 20th, shortly after 11:30 p.m., 9-1-1 dispatchers received information about a shooting which had taken place in the area of Main Street and East Third Avenue in Riddle. Deputies arrived on scene to find Clark deceased. A second victim -- 29-year-old Killian Mavity of Grants Pass -- suffered a gunshot wound to the arm and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.

Main fled the scene of the homicide after stealing a silver 2017 Honda Civic sedan bearing Oregon license plate "276 PAT," which has been recovered in California.

Detectives said Main is to be considered armed and dangerous. Sheriff John Hanlin has officially enlisted the assistance of the United States Marshal's Fugitive Task Force in apprehending Main.

Anyone with information which may lead to Main's arrest is urged to contact the Douglas County Sheriff's Office at (541)-440-4471 and reference Case #23-4651.
