Christopher Atkins, 12, and Robert Robinson, 17, have been charged with first-degree murder in the killings that happened in less than a 48 hour period between March 30 and April 1 in Ocklawaha, Florida.

12-year-old Christopher Atkins and 17-year-old Robert Robertson has been detained and prosecuted by The Marion County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) in connection with a shooting that took place last week in Ocklawaha, Florida.

According to an email from the sheriff's office, Sheriff Billy Woods will speak on Friday morning to give an update.

Florida authorities arrested two juveniles, one of whom is just 12 years old, in connection to the killings of three teenagers. A third suspect is still at large.

Layla Silvernail and Camille Quarles, along with an unidentified 17-year-old male, were shot and left for dead in Marion County, Florida, between March 30 and April 1. A manhunt is underway for the suspects in the homicides, which police believe are related.

Detectives said the three teenagers – who were found shot to death between Thursday and Saturday last week in separate locations – knew each other and the case may have connections to what Woods called a "wannabe gang."

Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods says the three teenage victims of an apparent triple homicide between March 30 and April 1 likely knew the perpetrators.

Marion County (Florida) Sheriff Billy Woods on Wednesday told "America's Newsroom" that an arrest is imminent in connection with the shooting deaths of three teens.

Three teenagers were shot in Marion County over the past week, two of whom died from their injuries and authorities say the killer is still on the loose.

One of the victims was identified on a GoFundMe page as Layla Silvernail, a 16-year-old softball player in Marion County, Florida.
