A teenager accused of killing two British tourists in Florida gunned them down after they said they did not have any money to hand over, a court has heard.
Shawn Tyson, who turned 17 on Monday, is said to have gone to rob James Cooper, 25, and James Kouzaris, 24, in April last year.
But when the pair, who had drunkenly stumbled into the rundown Newtown neighborhood of Sarasota, said they did not have any cash with them he shot them dead, prosecutors alleged.
Tyson faces a life sentence if convicted, but will not face the death penalty because of his age.
