Summary
A newly public affidavit says 17-year-old Keyan Rundell told witnesses he shot 19-year-old Dustin Rose and 18-year-old Samson Campbell after they allegedly tried to rob him during a marijuana sale behind DeLand’s Athens Theatre.
Surveillance and witness accounts outlined in the filing place Rundell on an e-bike at the scene, then show him wiping his face, spitting, and later pouring milk on his face—behavior investigators say was consistent with being pepper-sprayed.
Police said the victims were found with a loaded 9mm handgun, pepper spray and a bag testing presumptively positive for cannabis, while a witness told detectives Rundell said one teen had a gun and the other tried to spray him.
Daytron Etkins, 41, Rundell’s father, was arrested Friday on an accessory-after-the-fact charge; police say he helped burn clothing, blocked a camera with a patio umbrella and later returned to retrieve the gun. His bond was set at $100,000.
Rundell, arrested Wednesday in Manatee County and extradited to Volusia County, faces two second-degree murder counts and was ordered held in juvenile custody for 21 days pending further proceedings.
