Three suspects, including a 12-year-old, accused in the shooting deaths of three teens in Marion County will be charged as adults, according to the state attorney’s office.
Following the arrests of 12 and 17-year-old boys in a string of fatal shootings in Marion County, the sheriff’s office announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a third suspect.
A deadly shooting that left three teens dead last week in Marion County was the result of gang-affiliated juveniles turning on their own, according to Sheriff Billy Woods, who at a news conference Friday attributed the killings in part to failures of society.
