Florida teen killings may be tied to ‘wannabe gang,’ according to Florida sheriff
Former Miami-Dade homicide detective Pat Diaz says the killings of three Florida teens look like they were the result of a conflict between ‘one clique and another.'
A Florida man whose girlfriend was found dead on a freeway said she "spontaneously" jumped out of his vehicle as he was driving.
Albert Ayala, 34, faces charges in the death of Tequila Shepherd, who was found Jan. 26 on Interstate 4, FOX Orlando reported.
Shepherd was traveling with Ayala as a passenger when he was driving.
