3 Teenagers Charged With Murder in Relation to North Carolina Student’s Death Three teenagers believed to be connected to a 17-year-old’s body that was discovered by lawn care workers near a high school in a small town in North Carolina were taken into custody on Friday and charged with murder, authorities confirmed. Because all the parties involved are juveniles, the Surry County Sheriff’s Office is not making the identities of the suspects public, the sheriff’s office said in a press release. “Incidents involving young adults and children weigh heavily on all first responders involved, especially the ones who had direct contact,” Surry County Sheriff Steve C. Hiatt said.
