High School Students Killed Execution-Style, Sources Say (Winter Park High kids Florida)

[Baitball Blogger]

Sources tell WESH 2 that the teens were killed execution-style. The boys were bound, gagged and shot in the back of the head before their bodies were burned and left for someone to see and to send a message to others who may owe the killers money, according to sources.

The crime is being linked to an unpaid drug debt involving marijuana, according to sources. Those sources tell WESH 2 that less than $500 was owed to alleged gang members and at least one of the people suspected of the crime has already fled the country.

Friends said the two were best friends and very outgoing. Both were arrested in January for grand theft auto.

Presha is the son of former Orange County Sheriff's Capt. Bernie Presha who now works for the state attorney.

1. That's horrific. Poor kids and their parents.

2. I noted that Lakewood where the boys lived is near Sanford

This is just a short way south of Sanford.

It seems to me there are a big problem in this area of Florida.

One boy is white and one boy is black and they were best friends....

I sure hope that the murderer/s are found quickly

3. If they attended WP High,

it is one of the most affluent areas in Central Florida. WP is very different than Sanford in many ways, though I wouldn't call it easy on progressives. It's saving's grace is a nearby liberal arts school which is open to diverse views.

What probably happened is that they tried to run with an affluent crowd that could afford to buy their own drugs, and they came up short on their end without realizing who they were dealing with.

I'm just pulling from the article.

4. 2 kids who should be alive.

Except that marijuana is illegal & they got caught in the drug wars.

5. Could be worse

imagine if marijuanna were legal and these kids were instead sitting at home on friday night getting high and watching tv.

We may suffer rampant gang-related violence and incarcerate more people than anyone else but at least we're safe from the scourge of teenagers giggling at their hands on the couch.

6. They do the hit then run to Mexico
