Third Florida teen charged in brutal triple homicide

The Sheriff's office made the announcement via Facebook that Brewton was "arrested on his outstanding warrants for carjacking with a firearm, aggravated assault, grand theft of a motor vehicle, fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer and tampering with an electronic monitoring device,” adding that "the homicide investigation is ongoing at this time and additional charges are forthcoming."

On Thursday, the other two suspects, 12-year-old Christopher Atikins and 17-year-old Robert Robinson, were arrested and charged with first degree murder. According to a report for the NY Post, the three minors were in a burglary gang along with the three victims.

Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods gave a press conference on Friday and said that the three suspects and the three victims were collectively in the nascent gang. Concerning the three victims, Sheriff Woods said, "There’s no honor among thieves. At some point, these three individuals turned on our three victims and murdered them."

On March 30, 16-year-old Layla Silvernail was the first victim found after her body was discovered on the side of the road and was apparently dumped there. The next day an unidentified 17-year-old boy was found in a nearby ditch and the body was reportedly found wearing black gloves and a ski mask.

Silvernail's car was later found in a local pond miles from where her body was discovered. Police found the third victim, 16-year-old Camille Quarles, in the trunk.

Sheriff Woods said, "They fled the scenes but left a lot of evidence in their wake."

The Sheriff also said the murder weapon was stolen from a car on a separate occasion.
