SUMMERFIELD, Fla. — When Seath Tyler Jackson received a text message Sunday
afternoon from a 15-year-old ex-girlfriend saying she wanted to rekindle their
romance and that they should meet at a central Florida house, a female friend of
Jackson's sensed something wasn't right.
"I wouldn't fall for that," 16-year-old Brittnay Jones told Jackson, she
recalled to The Associated Press.
The 15-year-old Jackson ignored his friend's advice and went Sunday to a
house in Summerfield, about 65 miles northwest of Orlando.
There, authorities said, he was fatally beaten and shot as a result of a plot
to lure him there and kill him. Then, Jackson's body was stuffed into a sleeping
bag and burned, and the remains were put in paint buckets and dumped at a remote
lime rock pit, authorities allege.
Marion County sheriff's detectives said the way the defendants carried out
the crime was "unlike anything they had ever seen."
Authorities on Tuesday night arrested six people in connection with the
crime, charging five with first-degree murder. The five were being held without
bond.
Investigators said in an arrest affidavit that five suspects had acknowledged
varying roles in Jackson's death. Authorities said the 15-year-old girl and a
woman, 18-year-old Charlie Kay Ely, acknowledged trying to persuade Jackson to
come to the woman's house. Deputies also said the girl's brother, 16, and
20-year-old Justin Soto acknowledged participating in the attack on Jackson and
alleged that 18-year-old Michael Bargo shot Jackson repeatedly with a
.22-caliber revolver.
Authorities, as well as family and friends, said Bargo was dating Jackson's
ex-girlfriend and had gotten into a fight with him several weeks ago.
The five were gathered at the house Sunday "when Michael Bargo began to speak
of his hatred for the victim Seath Jackson," authorities wrote the 16-year-old
boy told them. "The conversation then turned into a plan to lure Seath to the
residence so that Michael Bargo could kill him with the assistance of other
persons."
Authorities have also charged the stepfather of the minor suspects,
37-year-old James Young Havens III,
with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. He was being held on
$10,000 bond. The AP is not identifying the two youngest suspects because they
are minors.
Investigators were searching Wednesday afternoon for remains in both the fire
and lime rock pits, as well as for the murder weapon.
Bargo and some friends began plotting Jackson's death after the two fought
several weeks ago, authorities said, and things moved quickly.
