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.

Reminds me of that old joke about the most exciting ride I ever had was with my grandfather.
As he was slumped unconscious over the steering wheel at 75mph.
I think some girls see those “bad boys” as exciting & get a little thrill over the danger, but they also want to be the one who “changes” them & makes them sweet, loving — their own special “Prince Charming” (or more like “the Beast”).
Lots of times they are happy to be one of several “Baby Mamas”, which I just don’t understand.
Sadly, some are looking for a strong “Daddy” figure, often ending up caught up, prostituted & often addicted — afraid or unable to leave & feel they can’t go back home.
The Left also wants to murder an unborn child up to and including during birth because they say it is not really human or a baby, yet they charge people with an additional murder count if that person murders a pregnant mother and the unborn baby dies.
This is not as much about hypocrisy as it is the Left wants to make laws totally arbitrary and not follow moral values or any form of justice.
Good points.
So many young women grow up without a father, and in the absence of a genuine connection with a father’s constructive strength, they seek out a illusory connection with a villainous guy’s destructiveness because that destructiveness appears to be a form of strength.
According to the article, 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.
Good point.
Watch this clip (language and violence alert) but Colin Farrell in True Detective captures the evil that can be 12 years old perfectly:
