Florida Man Hired Hitmen To Kill Teen He Sexually Assaulted:
According to ABCActionNews, three men named Lenard White, 36, Sheldon Robinson, 21, and Keshawn Woods, 22, all face federal charges of conspiracy to commit murder for hire. Their charges don’t stop there though. The three men are also being charged with murder for hire, discharge of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence and more. On February 6, 2023, Isabella Angelina Scavelli told her mother about the sexual assault by White. That’s when her mother recommended they file a police report with the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office. White then hired Robinson and Woods to murder the teen for $10,000.
The very next day, Robinson and Woods went to the the girl’s residence and knocked on the door. After opening the door to see who it was, Robinson and Woods allegedly opened fire. They sprayed a “barrage” of gunshots inside their house and even hit her mother. Sadly, the teen was hit by several bullets and died from her wounds. The mother was also shot and survived her injuries. In a press conference Sheriff Al Nienhuis said, “She was a bright kid with a very bright future and to see her life cut short is heart-wrenching to say the least.” This is such sad news but we’re happy all three men were caught.
