Two Florida teens<\/a> will be tried as adults after a grand jury indicted them for premeditated murder in the killing of a 14-year-old girl who was shot multiple times and set on fire.<\/p>\n

Gabriel Williams, 16, and Kimahri Blevins, 14, were each indicted by a grand jury with first-degree premeditated murder for allegedly luring Danika Troy<\/a> to a wooded area in Pace before killing her, the Office of the State Attorney said in news releases on Friday.<\/p>\n

Williams and Blevins will be tried as adults and will be held without bail in the Santa Rosa County Jail. Both cases were set for arraignment on Jan. 8, 2026.<\/p>\n

Danika\u2019s mother reported her as a runaway on Dec. 1. The next day, a passerby discovered her body in a wooded area in Pace, a community in Florida\u2019s Panhandle. Investigators said she had been shot multiple times and set on fire.<\/p>\n

FAMILIES CLAIM TEEN MURDER SUSPECT WAS ‘PLOTTING’ DEADLY HIT-AND-RUN FOR MONTHS BEFORE KILLING TWO GIRLS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Investigators quickly identified the suspects as Gabriel Williams and Blevins, two teens who knew Danika from school, and took them into custody<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Santa Rosa County Sheriff<\/a>\u00a0Bob Johnson described the killing at a news conference after Danika\u2019s body was found earlier this month.<\/p>\n

MOTHER SAYS ALLEGED STALKER WHO KILLED HER DAUGHTER SHOULD BE TRIED AS AN ADULT<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“This is where it gets really horrific,” he said, explaining that Williams allegedly stole his mother\u2019s handgun before shooting Danika. “It\u2019s bad enough you kill a 14-year-old. You\u2019re 14. You\u2019re 16. Shoot her multiple times, and then they set her on fire.”<\/p>\n

The motive for the killing<\/a> remains unclear. Johnson said the explanations the teens offered at the time “don\u2019t fit the forensics or any facts of the case,” adding, “so we don\u2019t have a legit motive.”<\/p>\n

Detectives initially believed the murder may have stemmed from a social-media dispute over Thanksgiving break. According to the sheriff\u2019s office, the boys claimed they targeted Danika because she had blocked Blevins on social media and called Williams “worthless and a gang banger.”<\/p>\n

Danika’s mother, Ashley Troy, rejected that narrative, telling the New York Post<\/a>, “What those boys said is an excuse.”<\/p>\n
