The sheriff in the tiny Florida town rocked by a triple teen murder today vowed to hunt down the third suspect in the killings.
'I will get him,' Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods told a press conference as he revealed that Christopher Atkins, 12, and Robert Robinson, 17, had been arrested in connection with the slayings outside Ocklawaha, Florida.
Layla Silvernail, 16, Camille Quarles, 16, and an unidentified 17-year-old boy were last week shot together in a car before being discovered over a span of three days dumped in separate places within a 5-mile radius.
Woods explained 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.
'There is no honor among thieves, and at some point, these individuals turned on our three victims and murdered them,' the cop said. He said that the three suspects 'fled the scene but left a lot of evidence in their wake.'
Woods fought back tears as he described having to 'stare into the eyes' of the young suspects' mothers. He said: 'I put myself in the shoes of those mothers because I heard one of them say, 'I wish I would have known what this one was doing and who they were, because my kid never would have hung out with them.'
The third suspect in the case, Tahj Brewton, 17, remains at large, and a $10,000 reward has been offered for information that could lead to his capture.

Re: 4 - No worries, seeing latent racism on FR just shows FReepers who they are dealing with - someone who is openly racist.
This I don't get about the Sheriff. He believes that? The "young suspects" are just the black boys, right? Their mothers raised those ferals most likely without a father or any supervision. Why give them any benefit of the doubt?
Third victim is male...not sure about race.
Gangs are notorious for providing safe-houses, often out of State.
From the video linked at #3, it sounds like the Sheriff is itching to reveal more, but being restrained.
Incipient is more accurate than latent. But you know best what’s in my mind. Lots of you mind readers on FR and everywhere else these days.
“Also see a LOT of pretty young girls (of all colors, but many are blonde/white) hanging out with “thugs”...”
I think they want to show how cool and “progressive” they are. Why else would a relatively attractive white girl want to hang around a dirty, smelly, illiterate, 30-IQ Homo erectus?
Whatever. Enjoy your racism.
Yes, $10,000 dead, no questions asked, or $5 alive.
Some teen white girls find black thugs “exciting”. More exciting than the white guys they go to school with.
They got lots of excitement. Especially in the last few seconds of their lives.
Whatever yourself. Venkman’s opinion, valid or not, is certainly worth as much as yours. Or mine. Reading #4, Venkman didn’t direct his real-world comment at you or at anyone else.
Today’s world can’t help but lead one to question many facets of society’s current value system.
Yes, they call to mind that girl that went to habitate with the ISSA terrorists...and later begged for help getting away from them.
oops, ISIS not ISSA
The reward should be for information about the murderer’s whereabouts.
Please explain why you have that view and how it applies to this.
Oh, just stop.
I never said the opinion is worth less than mine, or more.
In fact, if you READ what I posted, I said it’s good to know who holds racist views. Beginning to think that Jim Crow laws were for a good reason informs readers of that racism.
Do you have any ideas about why the hanging out with thugs thing happens?
Why is it so common?
It would be interesting to read your view on why they view such associations as being exciting.
As far as I can see the left wing local Miami media has NOT covered this story with any depth.
Now, look, if three WHITE kids murdered three BLACK kids in Marion county, the local Miami media would be SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER!
