New York, NY, August 6, 2026 —
A 17-year-old individual has been arrested by the DeLand Police Department and is facing charges of two counts of second-degree murder.
The DeLand Police Department announced the arrest of the teenager, whose name has not been released due to their age. The charges stem from an incident that led to two fatalities.
Details regarding the specific circumstances of the alleged crimes, the identities of the victims, or the timeline of events were not immediately available. The DeLand Police Department is continuing its investigation into the matter.
Second-degree murder typically involves an unlawful killing that is committed with malice aforethought, but without the premeditation required for first-degree murder. This can include killings that occur during the commission of certain felonies or killings that are the result of an intentional act that endangers human life, even if there was no specific intent to kill.
Further information is expected to be released by the DeLand Police Department as the investigation progresses.
