Overview
- Danika Troy, 14, was found shot multiple times and her body burned in a wooded area near Pace, Florida, after she was reported missing on Dec. 1.
- Gabriel Williams, 16, and Kimahri Blevins, 14, have been arrested on first-degree premeditated murder charges and are being held in juvenile detention without bond.
- Ashley Troy told reporters that Williams pretended to have feelings for her daughter to lure her into the woods, a detail authorities have not confirmed.
- Sheriff Bob Johnson said the 16-year-old allegedly used a handgun taken from a family member and that the suspects’ stated motive tied to social-media insults does not match forensic findings.
- The State Attorney is working with investigators on potential adult prosecution, and a recent report said a guardian of Williams was arrested on drug charges the day the girl was killed as authorities continue broader inquiries.
