Six people have been accused of brutally murdering a 15-year-old boy who was lured to a home, beaten, shot dead, burned, shovelled into paint cans and thrown in a dumpster.
The remains of Seath Tyler Jackson, from Marion County, have yet to be found but deputies have arrested six suspects ranging in ages from 15 to 37 in connection with his death.
Authorities say that Seath was lured to a home in Summerfield on Sunday night by his ex-girlfriend Amber Wright, 15, who had been texting him 'non-stop' claiming she wanted to get back together with him.
Detectives said it was all part of the carefully constructed plan to kill the teenager.
Once inside the home, he was hit in the head with a wooden object and was shot multiple times with a .22 caliber , according to detectives. When Seath tried to escape, he was tackled, held down and shot again.
His body was then placed in a bath tub and his knee caps were broken. According to the report, when he was in the bathtub he started showing signs of life and was shot again.
He was then tied up, placed in a sleeping bag and burned in a fire pit.
Deputies said his remains were then shoveled into five-gallon paint containers and thrown into a dumpster.
According to WFTV, Seath's parents reported him missing on Monday and thought he had run away.
Yesterday, the mother of 16-year-old Kyle Hooper told the sheriff's office that her son had witnessed the murder.
The teenager, who has been charged with murder, later allegedly told detectives that the group carefully plotted and carried out the crime.
He allegedly told detectives that the house Seath was killed in had been cleaned with bleach and his remains shovelled from the fire pit.
Amber Wright, 15, Kyle Hooper, 16, Charlie Kay Ely, 18, Michael Shane Bargo, 18, Justin Soto, 20, and 37-year-old James Young Havens III have all been arrested.
Havens is the step-father of Wright and Hooper. He is charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. The others are charged with first-degree murder.
Hooper, Ely, Wright and 20-year-old Justin Soto admitted their roles in the gruesome killing, according to the affidavit.
According to WFTV, investigators believe Bargo was the ring leader in the slaying of Seath Jackson and that he wanted to kill the 15-year-old simply because he 'hated him'.
It was also believed to have been part of the break up between Seath and Amber Wright.
Hooper, Wright, Ely, Soto and Bargo were all involved in the planning and luring of Jackson to the home, deputies said.
Hooper allegedly told detectives that he witnessed Bargo shoot Jackson.
Deputies said Havens was aware of the plan to kill Jackson and that he assisted in disposing of the remains. He also gave Bargo a ride to the city of Starke in an effort to avoid being caught, deputies said.
When Bargo was asked today by a reporter if he was innocent while he was being led away by authorities, he gave the middle finger.
murdered boy :(
