Six people were arrested this week and accused of luring a 15-year-old boy to a Florida home, shooting him several times, burning his body in a fire pit and putting the remains into paint cans, authorities said.
The killing occurred Sunday in the central Florida city of Ocala, according to a statement from the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
Two females in the group allegedly lured the victim, Seath Jackson, to the home, and the group beat him with a wooden object. He was then shot several times with a .22-caliber gun, authorities said.
As the wounded teen attempted to flee, he was tackled and shot again, according to the sheriff's statement. His body was allegedly placed in a sleeping bag and burned in a fire pit outside the home.
His ashes were placed into several paint containers and thrown into a large garbage can, authorities said.
Authorities said they learned of the alleged plot from a member of the group who confessed to witnessing the killing.
Four adults and two minors were charged in connection with the killing.
Michael Bargo, 18; Charlie Kay Ely, 18; Justin Soto, 20; and two minors face first-degree murder charges, the Marion County Sheriff's Office said.
And James Haven, 37, faces charges of accessory to the crime for allegedly helping to dispose Jackson's remains and driving one of the suspects out of the area to avoid arrest, authorities said.
Sheriff's department documents gave little information about what caused the killing other than brief statements by suspects about a dispute and a growing hatred.
Soto's public defender, Bill Miller, would not comment on the case. Ely is not represented by an attorney, and Bargo will make his first appearance Thursday morning, according to Marion County courts.

Eh, people are evil. FB is just the latest way for them to demonstrate it.
Ocala is the county seat of Marion County. I live in a very rural area of Marion County and although you might look at the residents as characters in "The Hills Have Eyes", I've found them to be very hard-working down-to-earth people, like the folks in Rawling's "Cross Creek".
Three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead.
Yah...you got me there.
No blame associated. Most folks don’t hear “cracker” used in the sense that native Floridians understand it. Heck, there are “Cracker Barrel” restaurants all over the country, but no one thinks about the meaning therefrom.
I’ve explained in subsequent posts my meaning, FRiend. I wasn’t making a generalization, just that there are parts of Ocala and, heck, parts of rural Florida, that could be a scene of a bad movie, but that doesn’t mean bad people come from there. I’ve been through parts of Okeefenokee and esp. parts of the Glades that put rural Ocala to shame.
LOL..no joke. Buddy of mine told me that he has his hands on his Dad's illegal machinegun (M16) brought back from Vietnam. He asked me if I could register it for him and make it legal.
Due to the unconstitutional NFA act and FOPA of 86, it wont happen. I told my buddy sorry but you messed up by telling me. Keep that stuff secret, or you'll be in prison for 10 years. I told him to go rebury/rehide it and don't tell anyone else. Next day, he came into the gun store with ALOT of dirt under his fingernails ;)
Sick, sick, sick.
Looks like the victim put up a pretty good effort to stay alive over the several minutes he was being systematically killed.
The whole “expressing oneself on FB” bit often seems to not turn out well.
This was kind of how I took it. They lured him there with the idea of just knocking him around, not realizing Bargo would kill him. Then the Bargo punk shoots the kid and they all freak. But they do what he says, because they are afraid they're next. Same for the step-dad. He probably helped out of fear for his family. He looks like a tweaker to me, but who knows?
Bargo has two teardrops tattooed on his face. In many circles, this would mean he's killed two people already (not always, but could be). What would it be to him to kill more?
To (poorly) quote from Unintended Consequences "The first one is expensive. After that, they're all free."

Here is the picture of the mastermind, ex-girlfriend who conspired with lazy-eyed inbred, Ely to lure the victim to his prolonged and agonizing death after a Facebook dispute over a breakup:

Yes, I read your subsequent posts . . . sorry about replying before I read them all. Just to make things a bit clearer - there is no ‘rural Ocala’. Ocala is the city. We here in the rural parts call it ‘town’, as in “I’m going to town for dinner and to see a movie.”
My 7 yo Daughter has better spelling and syntax than any of them.
Brutal behavior engendered by an equally brutal stupidity.
I grew up on my aunt’s ranch in rural Brooksville, so I can relate. We used to drive 20 minutes into “town” to shop and eat as well. The livery was on the “outskirts of town.” I really did mean the rural parts of Ocala more than anything else. Like I said, I’ve hunted in those parts for years, so I def. understand the intricacies of the area.
I appreciate knowing that we have good people in that neck of the woods here in Florida.
I don’t buy it, there were 6 involved, you mean to tell me that 5 were so frightened of one little gangsta wanna be? They are all guilty!!
Facebook kills while zer0buma campaigns at Facebook.
Check out this quote from the step dad after his release....
Havens, accused of helping the others hide the body, was released from jail Wednesday after posting a $10,000 bond.
After his release, Havens said he thought the whole thing was just a joke.
“I feel bad,” he said. “There’s nothing I can do about it. There’s nothing I can take it back. It is done. I’m sorry. I apologize to everybody, I’m sorry. That obviously doesn’t bring a 15-year-old back.”
Her parent(s) must be sooooo proud..............
Life in prison without possibility of parole and only fifteen!.............
