Casey Devol Wiki – Casey Devol Biography
A 31-year-old Colorado man will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars for fatally shooting his sister and her boyfriend inside their home last year in an unprovoked attack that was filmed by one of the victims. Douglas County District Judge Patricia Herron ordered Casey Devol on Monday to serve a 97-year sentence in a state correctional facility for the murders of Jessica Mitchell, 32, and her boyfriend, Bryan Gray, 34, authorities announced.
Devol pleaded guilty last month to two counts of second-degree murder in the brutal slayings and one count of felony animal cruelty for beating the couple’s dog to death with a hammer. After the sentencing hearing, authorities repeatedly reiterated the importance of Mitchell’s audio recording of the attack in bringing her brother to justice.
“When there were no eyewitnesses to these murders, a digital recording device became the voice of the victims,” said District Attorney John Kellner. “Jessica probably sensed something was wrong, and her instinct to start recording and file the tragic turn of events helped detectives and my prosecutors piece together this mystery and bring justice for their families.”

Casey Devol update
According to a press release from the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded on February 8, 2022 to a call regarding a deceased adult male and deceased adult female in a house located on S Russellville Road. The person she called said she was bringing a car title to one of her employees and when she entered the garage, she found the man and woman already dead and called 911.
Upon arrival on scene, first responders located the two victims, who were quickly identified as Mitchell and Gray. Subsequent autopsies of the victims determined in both cases that the manner of death was homicide and the cause of death was fatal gunshot wounds.

During the investigation, DCSO detectives located surveillance cameras on the property. After reviewing the footage, they were able to see a suspect carrying multiple firearms entering the garage where the victims were found. Shortly after the murders, one of Mitchell’s friends contacted investigators and provided information indicating that Mitchell’s brother, Devol, was a likely suspect in her murder. Devol’s driver’s license photo matched the characteristics of the suspect seen on video entering the victims’ garage prior to the murders.
During the autopsy, investigators discovered a key piece of evidence that helped them get to Devol: Mitchell had a digital recording device in her that captured a lengthy audio recording of the events leading up to and including the murders. He was tracked down and arrested at a Kansas hotel the day after the bodies were discovered.
“While we may never know why Jessica decided to start a recording, she was instrumental in helping us locate the defendant at the home with the two victims,” Assistant District Attorney Andrew Steers said in a post-sentencing statement. “In the recording, you hear three people talking over dinner. The recording does not clarify what was the motive behind the shooting. What is clear is that two of the three people who dined that night were murdered and the only person who can answer ‘why’ is Mr. Devol.”

According to the Denver Gazette, Mitchell started recording while the three were having dinner and never turned off the device. A family member who heard the recording addressed the court and said he could hear Devol “staging and mocking the bodies” and then “hitting his dog with a hammer.” Before the shooting, he said the conversation between the three was “jovial.”Read More……..
