US EditionFlorida teens in custody after 14-year-old girl found shot to death, burnt: sheriff
Two Florida teens face first-degree murder charges after allegedly killing a 14-year-old over social media insults; authorities seek to try them as adults.
- On Dec. 2, investigators found Danika Troy, 14, shot multiple times and burned in a wooded area off Kimberly Road in Pace, Florida, then arrested Kimahri Blevins, 14, and Gabriel Williams, 16, on first-degree murder charges.
- A digital feud over Thanksgiving break appears tied to the motive after Danika Troy blocked Kimahri Blevins and insults upset Gabriel Williams, police say.
- Investigators say Williams stole his mother's handgun, shot Troy multiple times, and the pair burned her body; evidence at scene included live ammunition, charred remains, the missing electric scooter, and a shoe.
- Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson said his office will work with the State Attorney's Office on adult prosecution, adding at a Thursday press conference, 'This is where it gets really horrific.'
- Officials have not ruled out charging parents as they continue investigating, with a GoFundMe for Danika Troy's family having raised over $17,000 of a $22,000 target.
