Summary
A 17-year-old male was arrested Wednesday on a warrant in the July 29 shooting deaths of Dustin Rose, 19, and Samson Campbell, 18, after DeLand police said the three knew each other in some capacity.
Police and a former homicide detective say the victims' phones could be key to motive because they were not stolen, making robbery seem less likely and pointing investigators toward a forensic review of calls, messages and contacts.
Rose, a Citadel cadet and South Carolina National Guard member, was home on break when he was killed; Campbell had returned to DeLand from the Chicago area and was staying with Rose's grandparents.
The two friends were found dead in a vacant lot around 10:40 p.m. on July 29 after relatives became concerned when they could not reach them, and police have not said whether they were specifically targeted.
