LAKELAND, Fla. — Four people, including three teenagers, were arrested and charged with two counts of felony murder after a man who was shot in the chest crashed into a house and ran over another man in Lakeland on Monday.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said 18-year-old Anthony Scott Roush, 23-year-old Kristian Xavier Guzman, a 15-year-old boy, and a 17-year-old boy are all facing multiple charges, including first-degree murder.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded to a home on Pirates Way in Lakeland around 1:30pm on Monday. When deputies got to the Secret Cove neighborhood, PCSO said they found a white Mercedes inside a bedroom.
Sheriff Judd said when rescue crews were helping 19-year-old Davin Boutwell, the driver of the car, they noticed he had been shot in the chest.

PCSO said they then found a second deceased person, Nathaniel Jones, 38, under the car. Officials said Jones was in the wrong place at the wrong time, riding an electric bicycle in the area when the car hit him.
During an investigation, PCSO said they learned that Boutwell drove to Secret Cove to conduct a drug deal. The Sheriff's Office said the 17-year-old suspect met Boutwell at his car as the 15-year-old suspect and Roush stood nearby, while Guzman remained in the getaway car.
PCSO said a gunman shot Boutwell through the chest, then the Mercedes sped down the road, hitting and killing Jones before crashing into the home. Both victims were dead when first responders arrived.
“Riddle me this: How much money and drugs did the bad guys get? Zero. Nothing," said Judd. "They killed two people. They’ve got a lifetime they’re facing in prison over a failed robbery.”
PCSO said Isabella Brooke Farley, 21, and Jessica M. Chambers, 19, rode in a silver Nissan Altima used as a getaway car, along with Guzman's two children.
Judd said they are petitioning the state attorney to charge all of the suspects as adults. Farley and Chambers are also facing charges, including accessory after the fact to a capitol felony and false information to law enforcement in a felony investigation.
"There's absolutely no winners. The oldest one's only 23. This one's 15, 18, 17, 21, 19. Teenagers, kids. They're kids. But they were doing adult, mean, bad crime," said Judd. "This is nothing but a thug robbery gone bad."
