A third suspect was arrested on Saturday in connection with the 'gang related' murders of three teenagers which shook Florida last week.
Police vowed to find Tahj Brewton, 16, after his suspected accomplices Christopher Atkins, 12, and Robert Robinson, 17, were arrested on Friday in connection with the slayings outside Ocklawaha.
The US Marshals teamed up with the Lake County Sheriff's Office to help capture Brewton after Layla Silvernail, 16, Camille Quarles, 16, and an unidentified 17-year-old boy were found shot dead and discovered over three days dumped in separate places within a 5-mile radius.
Brewton was arrested on several charges, including grand theft, carjacking with a firearm, attempting to elude a law enforcement officer and tampering with an electronic monitoring device, according to the sheriff's department.
The three teenagers arrested in connection to the murders all face additional charges and first-degree murder.
Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods explained at a Friday press conference that the victims and the alleged killers were all 'associated in some way with a gang' that was involved in a spate of robberies and burglaries. Detectives were able to determine that the three teenage victims were together prior to their murders in a vehicle owned by Silvernail, before they were dumped in different locations over a three-day period.
According to an arrest affidavit filed against 12-year-old Atkins, Silvernail's body was discovered in a garbage dumpster after a vehicle crashed into it soon after residents heard several gunshots.
Sixteen-year-old Silvernail was shot in the head and was still alive when she was discovered near Forest Lakes Park, however she later succumbed to her injuries and died in hospital.
The discovery was followed hours later when an unnamed 17-year-old victim was found less than a mile away on the side of a road.

Oh stop. I know the Moynihan report and it spoke mainly to single parent households.
The poster who said we have a “problem race” made a claim about a stat. He won’t back it up. It’s not my job to cover for his laziness.
That’s an appeal to authority, a logical fallacy, and it’s used to deflect attention from your lack of intellectual rigor. Nothing more or less than that.
“Oh stop” is just another deflection from the same.
You are wrong on so many topics that it’s just getting easier to post I have the opposite opinion that Slury.
“I believe this is fundamentally an economics problem.”
If it were fundamentally an economics problem the continent of Africa would be an economic powerhouse.
I’ll leave things there.

That’s the ones that are solved and/or can be determined. Most crime in cities are not even tried to be solved. 95% of those are a specific group.

Africa is handicapped by many things. One of which is that most national boundaries were drawn by Europeans. There was no regard for tribal territories or anything like that. It would be like that if in 1900, some great power had drawn up a nation that was 1/3 German, 1/3 Polish, and 1/3 Russian. Such a nation would be doomed to fail.
Then there is the corruption, and the lack of the rule of law. So my comment above does not explain everything. But I think it explains a good slice anyway.
The 3 % of the population that is responsible for a good deal of our violent crime is about 25% of the black population. That’s a problem race. Is it all of them? No. Is it about half of the males? Yes.
All good humor must have an element of truth to it.

It is not racism if it is a true statement.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Precisely! And those who say otherwise are more than likely racists themselves. And anyone who fails to see that reverse racism has the potential to destroy this country needs to do a little investigation of the recent history of post-apartheid South Africa!
So the $5 million of reparations to every black in California (SF) will solve the economics problem then right? Right.....
Jesse sold his soul to get a seat at the DNC Table. Before that, he was pretty solid.
Ditto for the Middle East, and the Arabs being betrayed by the Brits, for their assitance in defeating the Ottoman Empire.
A problem race?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Confirmed over many decades by statistical analyses here and around the world. You’re not aware of that? What planet do you live on?

Heck, no. As the old saying goes: “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
Besides the obvious pandering, reparations fall in the “give a man a fish” catagory.
Trump had it right. Bring industry back to America. Put factories back in the cities.
That’s teaching a man to fish.
Those are the facts.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hey, don’t cite verifiable facts like that, they expose the racist narratives that are meant to refute the obvious!
it’s important to note the racist comments being posted.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Very true, and you should immediately cease posting them!
Assuming that your claim is accurate, so the ENTIRE race is a problem race.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I have not seen any post on this thread that makes that assertion and neither have you.
The percentage of the black population in the US is approx 13%.
That means 7% (roughly 50% of the black population) constitutes the majority of violent offenders in the US, including murder, robberies, carjackings, assault/battery an dmore. Further, that same 7% of the overall population constitutes the majority of violent prisoners, in the US.
Nothing racist about stating the facts. FBI crime stats back up the above.
Just sayin'. :-)
Fax be raciss…
