In the heart of Marian County, Florida, a tight-knit community was shaken to its core by a gruesome triple homicide. Three teenagers, Leila Silvernale, Michael Hoto Jr., and Camille Quarrel, lost their lives in a shocking act of betrayal that left investigators and residents searching for answers. There's a girl laying in front of my throat and she's dying. Okay. Is she awake? She's dying. I don't know. She's bleeding out of her head. She's gargling on her blood. You need to turn her on her side so she doesn't choke. Okay. On it doesn't matter what side. Like on what side? No. Just turn her on her side so she doesn't choke on the blood. Okay. [Applause] Is she awake? No. Okay. Is she breathing? She's brea She's breathing. Do you Do you know how far they are? I don't have any ETA, but they are on the way. Okay. On March 30th, 2023, at 10:52 p.m., Leila Silvernail, a 16-year-old girl described as kind-hearted and generous, was found critically injured near a dumpster on SE183 RD Avenue Road in Aklawa. She had been shot in the head. When deputies arrived at the scene and spoke to a first responder and a witness, their accounts painted a chilling picture. No, not really. No, there's no ID, no nothing. Young girl, old younger girl that color that it look like brown. Go ahead and look and see if you can not yet right now. We should at least try. Yeah, he's RP. He said his neighbor said they heard what sounded like somebody getting in the dumpster and she yelled at him and the car took off and went into car neighbors right over here. So she seen the car over here. I mean this is moved. He says this looks like it's been moved. I wonder if it right there. But there's no dents on it. That's the weird thing. Around what time did you hear? You said it sounded like a gun like a Yeah, it wasn't a loud gunshot. I would say about 20 30 minutes ago. Um it was a loud gunshot, but I heard about four or five. And I kind of blew it off casually and then I just looked out my window cuz I did think it was strange how late it was. And I saw the car run into the dumpster. Mhm. And I once I seen the car run to the dumpster, I stepped out my door and I seen a man run out of the car towards down the road towards my yard and I yelled at him, "What the [ __ ] were you doing?" And then I seen him run back towards the car, take a minute and I was calling him because it was his dumpster and I seen him skirt off into the neighborhood. You know what kind of car it was? I didn't see what kind of car it is. Smaller car. I want to say it's a darker color, but I want to say it's a darker color and it was a small car. Didn't see the maker or anything. I wish I would have gotten closer. No, don't put yourself in any type of danger. I know. Did you see if anybody was in there? Was only one. Was there I only seen one person running and it was a male. It had a male figure, had a hat on. Um I want to say he was like 5 foot maybe, but it was only one dude running down the road. Okay. And you said he ran down that way towards He was running down towards this way until I yelled at him. Did you hear the crash first or did you hear what sound? I heard the gunshots first. Where did you hear those at? Here or down? I heard him. I mean, I couldn't really tell. When I looked out my window, I seen him halfway probably by that yellow sign if a little further past that. And then that's when I see uh when I looked out and then I seen him run into the dumpster. Okay. And then that's when he got out and ran. And then I when I got out my door, he was running down the road and I seen him and then that's when I yelled at him and got back in the car. But even before the community could process the heinous crime committed on Ila, more bad news came their way. Barely 24 hours later, on the morning of March 31st, 2023, another victim, 17-year-old Michael Huau Jr., was discovered on the side of Southeast 188th Court. He too had been fatally shot in the back of the head. At this point, the authorities were now on high alert. However, despite the already chilling discoveries, things would only get worse again. A day later, on April 1st, 2023, at 12:28 p.m., deputies located Chevrolet Cruz partially submerged in a pond 9 mi from where she was found. Inside the trunk lay Camille Quarl, another 16-year-old victim. She had been shot twice while trapped in the trunk. On April 4th, 2023, Ila succumbed to her injuries, devastating her family. With three homicides now in their hands, the Maran County Sheriff's Office launched an intensive investigation into what at the time appeared to be an execution style killing spree. Sheriff Billy Woods, however, was quick to dispel rumors of a serial killer, emphasizing that this was no random act. As part of their investigation, the deputies first talked to Ila's grandparents, who revealed that one of the victims, Camille, was a runaway. This information led the deputies to Camille's aunt, who revealed that she'd actually reported Camille to the police for running away. However, the police had done nothing regarding the matter. While that was happening on the side, deputies contacted an unidentified female witness. This individual provided deputies with useful information that would soon open the case. On the fateful day, the female witness revealed she was hanging out with Ila, Ila's boyfriend, Michael Hodo, aka Sosa, and two other young males. The group was all over the place, driving inside Ila's 2015 Chevrolet Cruise with Ila behind the wheel. At some point, they also passed by a trap house and the homes of the two other young males, rapping and listening to music. At 6 PM, Leila and Hodo dropped off the female witness before heading to pick up the two other teens they were with earlier. One called Reaper and the other 35. The witness also revealed a detail that with time would turn out shocking. 35 was only 12 years old. Thanks to information from the female witness, officers brought in two suspects, Reaper, a 17-year-old named Robert Robinson, and 35, a 12-year-old named Christopher Atkins. Reaper was already incarcerated when the investigation began, making him easy to locate. Both boys were minors, so their mothers accompanied them during interrogation. Reaper's questioning started off tense. He avoided eye contact and gave short answers, but eventually he slipped up and mentioned 35, confirming his involvement. 35, on the other hand, initially tried to appear confident and stuck to a rehearsed story. Detectives, sensing inconsistencies and noticing his nervousness, continued pressing him. Eventually, his account began to shift. He admitted that Reaper had convinced him to stay quiet. With encouragement from his mother, 35 began to open up, describing a day when Reaper unexpectedly came to their house. Later, Leila and Michael Huau picked them up. Ila drove, Huau sat in the front, and Reaper and 35 rode in the back. Things seemed normal until they picked up another individual, 16-year-old Taj Brutin, later identified as X-Man. That's when the situation began to feel off. Detectives then focused on Reaper again. He mentioned others involved, a boy named Landon and an unnamed girl. His details matched what other witnesses had shared, helping the investigators piece things together. The case took a dramatic turn when police uncovered video footage from CCTV cameras. The surveillance clearly captured an armed robbery involving a stolen vehicle linked to the entire group, Hodo and Ila included. At this point, Reaper's demeanor had changed. He was anxious and angry. His mother was visibly frustrated, insisting he tell the truth. She explained he had just been promoted and was supposed to be working. Detectives presented GPS data, proving Reaper wasn't home during the murders. This sent him into an emotional spiral. He wasn't just afraid of going to prison. He feared for his life. Reaper explained that snitching could get his family killed. The gang he was involved with, known as KTM, short for cutthroat mentality, was notoriously violent. Under pressure, Reaper finally named Taj, as the one who killed the two teenagers. At the time, Taj was on the run after removing an ankle monitor while on house arrest for unrelated crimes like carjacking and aggravated assault. Though there was a $10,000 reward for his capture, but not for long. Taj was recaptured on April 8th, 2023. And when he was brought in, he immediately blamed Reaper, claiming it had been Reaper's idea. He also didn't hesitate to add that 35 and Reaper were the ones who pulled the trigger. Taj also described their efforts to cover it up. After the murders, they tried to destroy evidence by crashing the stolen car into a dumpster and then driving it to a lake to sink it. They wiped it down to remove fingerprints, but the car didn't submerge completely. When police found it, the only the front tires were slightly submerged. Nearby, they also found phones belonging to Huo and Ila, further placing them at the scene. A chilling discovery came when detectives searched 35's home and found two guns believed to have been used in the murders. The most heartbreaking moment was learning about Camille, a girl whose body had been locked up in the car's trunk the entire time. While Sheriff Woods said that digital evidence and interviews suggested that Camille was inside the trunk on her own accord, two of the suspects soon shot her twice, once in the back and once in the head. Reaper and Taj both said 35, shot her first and another person, possibly Reaper or Ta, finished the job. All the three shootings occurred on March 30th, 2023 when the first female witness heard the gunshots and just before Ila was discovered near the dumpster. As the case unfolded, threats and fear of retaliation became clearer. Both 35 and Reaper said Taj had threatened their families if they talked. This fear explained Reaper's earlier silence and highlighted just how dangerous the KTM gang truly was. Their motto, do whatever it takes, no matter who gets hurt. Investigators soon revealed that robbery was likely the motive behind the killings. The gun or guns used had been stolen during car burglaries committed by the group prior to the murders. According to Sheriff Woods, each and every one of them in some shape or form is associated with a gang. Basically simple terms, there is no honor among thieves. And at some point, these three individuals turned on our three victims and murdered them. In May 2023, state attorney William Gladson announced grand jury indictments against all three suspects. Reaper and Todd were charged with three counts of firstdegree murder, while 35 faced one count due to his age. All three were also charged with robbery with a firearm and tampering with evidence. Despite their young ages, 12, 16, and 17, the suspects were charged as adults due to the severity of their crimes. Sheriff Woods criticized societal failures in addressing juvenile crime, calling for stricter measures against youth misconduct. He said, "We do not hold our juveniles accountable. We minimize their actions. School districts across the state and across this nation need to quit minimizing the actions of their students. Hold them accountable. That's where the failure is." As of April 2025, all three defendants remain in custody at Marian County Jail without bond. Their trials continue in circuit court as families await justice for Leila Silvernale, Michael Hutto Jr., and Camille Quarrel.
