Overview
- Kimahri Blevins, 14, and Gabriel Williams, 16, were arrested and charged with first-degree premeditated murder and are being held in juvenile detention.
- A passerby found Danika Troy’s body off Kimberly Road in Pace, Florida; investigators say she was shot multiple times before her remains were set on fire.
- Sheriff Bob Johnson said the handgun used in the killing was allegedly stolen by Williams from his mother, and evidence recovered at the scene supports a planned attack.
- Arrest reports and witness statements describe a social-media falling out and an alleged plan to lure Danika into the woods, with claims the initial intent was a single shot as the attack escalated.
- Officials say the motive remains unresolved and no parents have been charged, as the community holds vigils and Danika’s mother appeals publicly for photos to honor her daughter.
