Authorities say the 17-year-old suspect is charged with two counts of second-degree murder after investigators recovered clothing, an e-bike and digital evidence.
- On Wednesday, August 5, U.S. Marshals arrested Keyan Rundell, 17, in Manatee County for the double murder of childhood friends Dustin Rose, 19, and Samson Campbell, 18, in DeLand.
- Police discovered Rose and Campbell shot to death behind the Athens Theatre on July 29, where investigators believe the three met the previous evening at a vacant lot.
- Investigators dedicated nearly 1,200 personnel hours to the case, utilizing more than 30 tips from citizens and recovering clothing and an e-bike linked to the shooting.
- Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood and Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier criticized Ninth Judicial Circuit State Attorney Monique Worrell, alleging "lack of prosecution" in Rundell's juvenile history; Worrell denied the claims as politically motivated.
- Seventh Judicial Circuit State Attorney RJ Larizza said prosecutors will "look at the maximum charges we can bring, based on the evidence," while DeLand Police Chief Jason Umberger confirmed investigators seek anyone who assisted Rundell.
