FLORIDA — Two teenagers from Pace have been charged with premeditated murder in the death of 14-year-old Danica Troy, whose body was discovered in a wooded area earlier this week, according to the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office (SRCSO).
Troy was reported missing by her mother on Monday. Investigators later determined she had been killed the night before. Her body was found Tuesday in a wooded area off Kimberly Road with multiple gunshot wounds and signs of burning, officials said.
The sheriff’s office identified the suspects as 16-year-old Gabriel Williams and 14-year-old Kimahri Blevins. Deputies said the pair lured Troy into the woods, where she was shot and her body set on fire.
According to Sheriff Bob Johnson, Williams used a handgun he had stolen from his mother to carry out the shooting. Both teens were arrested and are now facing charges of premeditated murder as the investigation continues.
