Overview
- Kimahri Blevins, 14, and Gabriel Williams, 16, are held in juvenile detention on first-degree premeditated murder charges as the sheriff works with the State Attorney to seek adult charges.
- Deputies say Williams used his mother’s handgun to shoot Danika multiple times before the suspects set her body on fire on a wooded trail in Pace, Florida.
- Evidence at the scene included multiple live rounds, a shoe matching what Danika’s mother described, and an electric scooter believed to be hers, helping confirm her identity.
- Arrest reports and witness statements describe a plan formed after a social-media falling out, though the sheriff says the stated motive does not align with forensic findings.
- The case remains active with forensic work and interviews ongoing, and the community is organizing support for the family, including a candlelight vigil at Avalon Baptist Church.
