Alicia Barnett was an 18-year-old student from Winter Haven, Florida, who was shot multiple times and killed on November 12, 2012. Her body was found on the Chain of Lakes Trail near New Beginnings High School. Investigators say she had been lured to the location under the pretense of a drug deal; the suspects allegedly planned to rob her and the encounter escalated to fatal gunfire.

Two classmates and acquaintances were arrested in the weeks that followed. Antonio Donte Callaway, a student at New Beginnings High School, was arrested December 5, 2012 and charged with first-degree murder after police tied cellphone communications to the crime. Ethan Deshaun Lucas, who was not a student at the school, was arrested later in December and was charged with first-degree murder by grand jury indictment. Both had prior criminal records.

The arrests drew attention to student safety and repeat offenders in the juvenile justice system.
