Teens Charged With Killing Girl, 14, In Santa Rosa County Before Burning Her Body
December 5, 2025
Two Santa Rosa County teens are behind bars, charged in the brutal murder of a 14-year old.
Gabriel Williams, 16, and Kimahri Blevins, 14, have both been charged with first-degree premeditated murder.
On December 1, 14-year-old Danika Troy was reported as a runaway after she was last seen on November 30.
The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office said they carried out a plan to shoot Troy and burn her body.
About 11 p.m. on December 2, the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office located a burned body in a wooded area off Kimberly Road in Pace. Due to the condition of the body, immediate identification could not be determined.
On December 3, 2025, while conducting further follow up interviews, investigators determined the body was that of Troy and developed Williams and Blevins as suspects. After interviews and examination of evidence, the teens were charged.
Williams and Blevins are currently being held by the Department of Juvenile Justice.

This is one of the saddest cases I’ve seen in a while.
JTV: There are judges for a reason. I consider it dangerous making comments like that–the death penalty bit–because it can cause cause mob mentality.

I am praying for this poor girls family and I hope the State charges these boys as adults, convict them, and sentence them to Death! Exodus 21:24
This is absolutely horrific in every way imaginable, and my heartfelt condolences to the families who have had their lives torn apart. Normalcy is gone forever. However I cannot help but wonder why and what inspired these two boys to carry out such a heinous act as was carried out on this poor girl. And now this whole community has to deal with something which will follow them for years to come, but It is a time to come together and not to split apart, even in the face of what has happened. This can only take place through strength in prayer and as hard as it is, forgiveness. God bless you all and the prayers of the whole county be with the families involved. God bless you all is my prayer.
@Bob C. – Those two aren’t boys.
At any rate, this is just sad all around. These kids are lost, and as a result of their actions, families, friends, peers, and they themselves, are forever scarred.
They should be tried as ADULTS. These young children are doing these things because they know what the Law says and are recruited by older adults to carry out Crimes. They need to know that they are responsible for their own Crimes. They took this young lady life and set her on Fire. My prayers are with the Parents of this child.
Try them as Adults, they knew what they were doing.
How utterly hateful. These kids are beyond horrible inside and out. What in the world have they learned and from who? I pray for the victim and her family. These boys are beyond sick. They’re evil! God save us!
This is so sad! OMG! I can’t imagine what the victim’s family is going through! My heart is heavy with sadness, so tragic. As for the ones who did this, I hope they get the full extent of Florida law and tried as adults. Life in prison is even too good.
Sure seems these two boys should be tried as Adults.
Charge as adults and death penalty for both.
