FROSTPROOF, Fla. — A 15-year-old and a 16-year-old have been arrested for the shooting death of a man in Frostproof.
During a press conference on Monday, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said a 16-year-old suspect "went on an app" and ordered marijuana from the 22-year-old victim.
When the victim drove down Washington Terrace around 5 p.m., he pulled up to the two teenagers. According to PCSO, after talking for a few minutes, one of the suspects pulled out a gun and shot the victim, who attempted to return fire.
The car then drifted down half a block before it ran into the edge of the road and stopped. Deputies said the victim had a baggie of marijuana clutched in his hand when he was found dead.
The 15-year-old was taken into custody by deputies and charged with attempted robbery, tampering with evidence and first-degree murder.
Monday afternoon, PCSO announced that they had arrested the 16-year-old suspect as well. Deputies did not provide information on the 16-year-old's charges.
