OCALA, Fla. (AP) — A teenager and a 12-year-old have been arrested in Florida in connection with the deaths of three other teens. Their bodies were found along a rural Florida roadside and in the trunk of a partially-submerged vehicle. Another teen is being sought. Sheriff’s officials said Friday they’re “shocked” by the young ages of the victims and alleged killers.
