The Marion County, Florida sheriff's office, with the help of U.S. Marshals and the Lake County Sheriff's Office arrested a third suspect in connection to a triple homicide.
Marion County Sheriff Billy Wood said on Friday that all three suspects"fled the scene but left a lot of evidence in their wake."
Police said the victims likely knew the suspects for a short time, and the suspects turned on the victims eventually for an undisclosed reason, ultimately leading to the triple homicide. The suspects are part of a larger group involved in burglaries and robberies, the sheriff said, and although police said the suspects may have been tied to gangs, they had nothing specific regarding whether the shooting was related to a rivalry.On March 30, deputies responded to the area of Forest Lakes Park on 183rd Avenue Road, where they found Silvernail with a gunshot wound.
The next day, deputies responded to 94th Street and 188th Court, where they found a dead 17-year-old male with a gunshot wound.
