14-year-old girl died after her teenage “friends” from school shot her to death in a remote area, then set her body on fire just because she insulted and blocked them on social media; teens charged
Florida – In a disturbing case out of Florida, two teenage boys, 16‑year‑old G. Williams and 14‑year‑old K. Blevins, stand accused of first‑degree premeditated murder after shooting a 14‑year‑old girl, identified as D. Troy, to death in a remote wooded area and then setting her body on fire. Investigators say the act was not impulsive but coldly planned. Both suspects have been arrested and charged.
Williams and Blevins are formally charged with first‑degree premeditated murder. According to authorities, this was no random act, as evidence suggests they conspired to kill Troy following a social‑media dispute. Court documents and witness testimony show the teen boys felt insulted by Troy after she reportedly blocked Blevins online and called Williams a worthless wannabe gangster. Prosecutors say Williams stole his mother’s gun to carry out the killing, highlighting the careful, deliberate nature of the crime. Though both are minors, law enforcement officials have recommended adult‑level prosecution. Meanwhile, the two remain held in juvenile detention without bond.
According to reports, the teenagers were “friends” with Troy from school. The tragic chain of events began during Thanksgiving break, after tensions flared in an online exchange. According to investigators, that online exchange, as the suspects would later admit, turned into a deadly grudge. On the night of the murder, Troy’s mother reported her missing early Monday morning, after not seeing her daughter return home from visiting friends the previous evening. The family believed she had run away. Then, two days later, a passerby spotted a burnt body in a remote wooded area. First responders and sheriff’s deputies were quickly dispatched.
Near the body, investigators discovered live ammunition rounds and signs that a fire had been set intentionally. A damaged shoe and an abandoned electric scooter, both items determined to belong to Troy, were also found, further linking the remains to her. An unnamed witness later told police that the boys had explicitly discussed murdering Troy even before they carried out their plan. According to the witness, Blevins admitted the original plan was to shoot Troy once, but ultimately both boys lured her into the woods, shot her repeatedly, and then set her body on fire. Detectives’ interviews reinforced these claims. Blevins, questioned at his home, claimed he had sneaked back inside around 11 p.m., telling his mother he had been out “smoking a cigarette,” though she noted no smell of smoke. Williams, when questioned, admitted Troy’s words upset him—a declaration that investigators say underscores the personal, retaliatory nature of the crime.
Local residents reacted with horror and grief. In the wake of the tragedy, a fundraising campaign was launched to help Troy’s family cover funeral expenses. For Troy’s family and friends, no charge or sentence can undo the loss, as she was a 14‑year‑old girl whose only shift from normal teenage life was a message on social media. Now, two young boys face first‑degree murder charges, and a community confronts how quickly words and a grudge turned into an unspeakable act. The case moves forward, but nothing will ease the grief for the victim’s family.
