Speaker 1: The sixteen year old boy, Gabriel Williams, stole his mother's

12
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:44,080

13
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: year old. They're being held on first degree premeditated murder charges.

14
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: And here's where it even gets worse. It's bad enough

15
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: you kill a fourteen year old, you're fourteen, you're sixteen,

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: shoot her multiple times, then they set her on fire.

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: Santa Rosa Sheriff Bob Johnson says the defendants lured Danica

18
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: to a wooded area, shot her, doused her body with

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,919
Speaker 2: gasoline and set her on fire.

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 3: We do know that she had a crush on the

21
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 3: sixteen year old boy, and we believe that's why she

22
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: went out into the woods with him. She had no

23
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: idea she was going to be murdered, obviously.

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: Danica's mother reported her missing after the team vanished with

25
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: her scooter, while she had been reported as a runaway

26
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: on December first. Her burned body was discovered in paced

27
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: the following day. A witness reportedly claims Levin said the

28
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: initial plan was to shoot Danika once, but Gabriel continued

29
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: to shoot. They then burned Danica's body and left the area.

30
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: Investigators are still trying to determine the motive behind the killing,

31
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: unconvinced that the shooting stemmed from a fight over social media,

32
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: where Danica called one of the suspects a worthless gangbanger.

33
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: I mean, if you call somebody a name in eighth grade,

34
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: how many of name calling fights end up with somebody

35
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 3: being shot and burned to death. It just doesn't add

36
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: up to me. There was something else going on, and

37
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: we don't know what that is. My detectives interviewed them

38
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 3: both and they stuck with the story of yeah, they

39
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: got called a name, so that's why they killed her.

40
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: An arraignment for both defendants is scheduled for January eighth.
