Overview
- Prosecutors said Lenard White paid cousin Sheldon Robinson at least $6,000 to kill 17-year-old Isabella Scavelli a day after she reported him for sexual assault.
- Robinson fired multiple shots at the teen’s Brooksville home just before midnight, killing Scavelli and seriously wounding her mother.
- Investigators cited a gun recovered six months later buried behind Robinson’s home and evidence from more than 70 warrants as key proof.
- Prosecutors said White sought a hitman online, left Florida to craft an alibi, and that both men tried to destroy evidence, tamper with witnesses, and discussed killing another witness.
- Both face multiple mandatory life sentences on murder-for-hire, obstruction, witness tampering, and firearm counts, while accomplice Keshawn Woods previously pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing.
