Fifteen-year-old Seath Jackson of Summerfield, Florida, was murdered on April 18, 2011, in what investigators described as a premeditated attack tied to personal conflicts and jealousy. He was lured to a mobile home under the pretense of reconciliation, then ambushed by several people. Jackson was beaten, shot multiple times, and his body was burned; the remains were placed in paint buckets and dumped in a rock quarry.
Authorities arrested those believed responsible. Michael Bargo was identified as the primary assailant and later convicted and sentenced to death. Amber Wright, Kyle Hooper, and Justin Soto received life without parole. Charlie Ely was initially given a life sentence but had her conviction reduced and was released after serving time.
