Gabriel Williams and Kimahri Blevins News
During a Dec. 4 press conference at the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office, Sheriff Bob Johnson notified the community of what he called a “horrific” story.
Johnson informed the public that 14-year-old Danika Troy, who has initially been reported as a missing runaway, was found Dec. 2 fatally shot and burned in a wooded area in Pace.
Here’s what to know.
What happened to Danika Troy?
Troy’s mother told law enforcement her daughter left the home Nov. 30, never returning. On Dec. 1, she reported Troy to the SRSO as a runaway child.
However, a day later on Dec. 2, law enforcement discovered her body in a wooded area of Kimberly Road in Pace.
She had been fatally shot multiple times and had been set on fire with gasoline.
SRSO arrests Gabriel Williams and Kimahri Blevins for Danika Troy killing
Deputies arrested 14-year-old Kimahri Blevins and 16-year-old Gabriel Williams for premeditated homicide for their roles in allegedly killing Troy.
A cooperating witness, whom an arrest report identifies at CW1, reported to the SRSO that Kimahri disclosed that “he and Gabriel Williams planned the murder of Danika.”
“The initial plan was to shoot Danika once, but Gabriel continued to shoot,” Kimahri told the witness in the report. “They then burned Danika’s body and left the area.”
When investigators spoke with Kimahri, he told them the last time he spoke with Troy was at the beginning of Thanksgiving break when they “had a falling out and he blocked her on social media,” not seeing or speaking to her again.
When asked about what happened in the wooded area, Kimahri immediately requested a lawyer and questioning ended.
Investigators then interviewed Williams, who said, “Danika has made hurtful comments to Gabriel about being worthless and a gang-banger, which upset him,” according to the report.
The following paragraph in the report contained statements from Williams that are redacted. Under Florida law, agencies redact a defendant’s confession prior to court disposition.
What will happen to Gabriel Williams and Kimahri Blevins?
Blevins and Williams are currently held in the Department of Juvenile Justice.
The Office of the State Attorney will determine whether or not their office will charge the teens as adults, sending them to circuit court where they could face Florida prison.
Johnson told media during the press conference that he’s working closely with the State Attorney’s Office to ensure both teens are tried as adults, saying, “If you commit an adult crime, you deserve to serve adult time.”
How much prison time does Gabriel Williams and Kimahri Blevins face?
Although the SRSO arrested the teens for premeditated murder, the final decision as to which charges fit the case lies with the state attorney.
If their office charges the teens, or if a grand jury indicts them, with first-degree premeditated murder, then under Florida law they could face the death penalty at worst, and at best they would face a mandatory minimum life sentence.
However, penalties for Williams and Blevins could be lessened since they are juveniles, depending on how the attorneys and judge proceed with the case.
