A teenager has been arrested after police
said he drew up a $1,200 contract for a
classmate to murder his father, stepmother
and brother.
The 14-year-old, arrested in Port St. Lucie
in Florida, tried to ‘hire’ a friend to carry
out the killings and make the crime look
like a burglary gone wrong, police said.
The boy’s father found the handwritten
note along with a folding knife in his bag,
according to a charging document.
The note said:
‘I (name redacted) - will be hitman for
hire for (defendant's name redacted)
to murder (names redacted) and
(name redacted).
‘I am aware that if I do not go through
with it I will not get paid. Money in
question we agreed upon was 1200
dollars. I will leave in an hour or two
within the murder.’
Port St. Lucie police say the note was an
agreement between the teen and a friend
that the friend would kill members of the
boy's family for $1,200.
Under questioning, police say the 14-year-
old was p lotting for the family members to
be killed in a burglary-gone-wrong
scenario.
The friend told police he thought it was a
joke and it has been reported that he will
not face charges
