2 teens arrested for string of Florida murders, third suspect wanted

Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods said Friday that two boys – aged 12 and 17 – have been arrested in the alleged murders of three teenagers in a rural part of Marion County and that detectives were looking for a third suspect – a 16-year-old boy who is considered to be armed and dangerous.

Sheriff Woods said the two boys were arrested on Thursday under suspicion of first-degree, pre-meditated murder.

The 12-year-old was arrested at his home and the 17-year-old, identified as Robert Robinson, was already in juvenile custody after being arrested earlier by a different agency. Robinson was also booked under suspicion of robbery.

It’s a cultural thing nobody wants to talk about for fear of being labeled a racist.

[historicusjoe]

The suspects are all black. But, they can't show or tell you that.

[WanderingRationalist]

It’s true. Criminals will obtain firearms by any means. Teens should face harsher punishments for violent crimes.

[standupforwhatsright]

How in the world hate crime isn't mentioned is unbelievable, . Charge these heartlessness kenkees to the fullest!! 😠👊👊

[lonewolfproductions]

How many people have they killed because they refuse to identify the usual suspects and brand them As criminals so people can protect themselves

[jamesnewberry]

They did it because of the color (or lack of color) of their skin.

[robertjohnson]

Why did they show pictures of the victims, but not the offenders???
They are ALL juveniles!!!
Stop protecting violent criminals!!!

[MrBond-ku]

If the roles were reversed, this would be a hate crime. 🙄

[WanderingRationalist]

We’ve fallen so far as a nation. It pains me to hear that life is viewed so little.

[jnolette]

If I say what I want to say I'll get banned

[Megatron-slus]

Kids waste their lives thinking being criminals was cool. Now they'll go to prison for life.

[GT]

Be very wary if your children hang out with those basketball people.

[Pilgrimetro]

Remember, profiling people WILL save your life, don’t interact with these people, don’t do business with them, don’t hang around them and it will save you time, money, stress and your life

A 12 year old? His family had to have known Something was up

[jamescoleman]

[robbarron]

[suzylarry]

thank you for the good police work ! these kids ... what has been put in there teen aged heads, gang or no gang affiliate, what were they thinking the outcome would be ? Now, Rest In Peace you three lost friends, God be with you.

[teresamoreno]

All black doesn’t surprise me ! R.I.P those were killed 🙏🏻🇺🇸

[galndixie]

If parents were paying attention to who their kids are associating with, where they're going, and what they're doing, things like this could be avoided. You bought that phone and pay for the service, you need to monitor it. Put a GPS on you kid's car, and monitor that, too. If that child lives in your home, they're under your rules. Make good ones, and enforce them. Three kids dead, and three more going to prison for life. A frickin 12 year old has no business running with 16-18 year old kids. Six families broken and devastated.

Whats going on with the unidentified male? Why is he still unidentified?
