The three Florida teens whose bullet-riddled bodies were found abandoned in separate places last week were all friends and their deaths may be connected to a “wannabe gang,” Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods revealed Tuesday.
The new details emerged as the tiny community of Ocklawaha, Florida, has continued to reel since the teens’ slaying—with “crazy rumors” spreading about a potential serial killer, despite repeated assurances from authorities the teens were shot dead in an isolated incident.
Layla Silvernail, 16, is the only victim to be identified by cops. Her body was recovered on the side of a road on Thursday night, not far from where her car was found Saturday, partially submerged in a pond with a dead 16-year-old girl inside. Woods said the body of a 17-year-old boy was also found Friday morning on a separate stretch of road, about a mile away from where Silvernail was found. All three had gunshot wounds.
