Fifteen-year-old Seath Jackson was brutally murdered in Central Florida.
Seath Jackson, 15, of Belleview, Florida, was dating Amber Wright, also 15, of nearby Summerfield, though something went wrong and Wright began seeing 18-year-old Michael Bargo. Jackson took to his Facebook page to accuse Wright of cheating, according to UPI. (Though it's unclear if Wright and Bargo were actually dating.) Update: Jackson had posted several messages about Wright and Bargo on his Facebook page in the weeks before his murder. 

Sometime after the post, Jackson received a text message to meet Wright. When he arrived at the meeting place, a group of five people, raging in age from 15 to 20, brutally beat Jackson and shot him. They then burned his body to dispose of the evidence.


Wright, 15; Bargo, 18; Justin Soto, 20; Charlie Ely, 18; and Kyle Hooper, 16, have all been charged with first-degree murder.

Line one: Michael Bargo, 18; James Haven, 37; Justin Soto, 20. Line two: Amber Wright, 15; Charlie Ely, 18; Kyle Hooper, 16.
Police say Wright and Ely lured Jackson to a home Sunday afternoon after Bargo repeatedly talked about his hatred for Jackson and thought up ways of getting him to the house.

Three young men were waiting for him instead, and they began beating Jackson with wooden objects. Bargo shot Jackson multiple times with a rifle. When Jackson tried to flee, Soto held him down while Bargo continued to shoot.

They then put Jackson in a bathtub and tired to break his kneecaps so they could stuff him into a sleeping bag. Once they noticed Jackson was still alive, they shot him again.

After successfully stuffing the body into the sleeping bag, they tossed it into a back-yard fire pit that had been lit before Jackson arrived.

After the grizzly murder, the house was cleaned with bleach, and Jackson's ashes were shoveled into paint cans.

Jackson's parents reported him missing Monday, but police didn't know where he could be until Hooper told his mother about the murder.

Wright, Soto, Ely, and Hooper were arrested and admitted to their part in the deadly plot.

Bargo was caught in a town an hour and a half away. He had hitched a ride with 37-year-old James Haven, who had helped to dispose of the ashes and was charged as an accessory to murder. Haven is also Wright and Hooper's stepfather.

.Then try, this is difficult, I know, to speak with just a touch of intellligence.  The manner of speaking is just so ridiculous.  Who are you trying to impress with the "gangsta" and "wigga" crap.  Try to get an education.  Try to do something positive with your young lives.  That's what this is about.  Use your minds and put it to use.  We are not accusing anyone of being "inbred" we are just accusing you of not using the knowledge that you know that is there but are refusing to put to use in a positive way.  Get over it.  You are definitely not to cool for school.  Get an education, good job, good family, and you've got it made my young friends.

I live a few blocks from where this tragedy took place. My little brother is 15 & goes to the same school as these kids. Today is actually his 16 Birthday & I am so thankful to have him. I cant imagine what I would do if that were him. It is so scary to see what could happen. This has hit very close to home. I am still in disbelief of this awful crime. To whoever wrote about people in Ocala / Marion County being hillbillys & inbreds yes its true some people may be but not all of us. The people who did this may have been but what I know for sure is that they are evil & deserve the worst of whats coming to them! To who said about Casey Anthony yes that is so true its like that's all everyone cares about they hardly had no news coverage on this. R.I.P. Seath Jackson I send all my love & support to his Parents & Family.

This story brings such sadness, and im thousands of miles away. The rage of young minds is so scarey and the results are even worse. I feel so horrible for this kid that was beaten.shot..and then shot again ...then burned to ashes..his poor family cant even give him a proper burrial and the last image in their mind will have been the last time they saw him....I believe EVERYONE in this situation knew EXACTLY what they were doing..when I was 15...pretty sure i KNEW it was wrong to lure someone to a house to get killed..wtf ! I pray they get the proper punishment...makes me sick.

god damn scumbags. I wonder if the lazy-eyed bitch got that way through smoking meth herself or being beat too many times by her alcoholic stepfather.

This is easy... Blame the parents. Unfortunately, it appears Seath was raised essentially to be a future burden on society. Extensive drug use by 15... lacking any semblance of a moral compass. These six individuals essentially eliminated an unwanted future pregnancy or two on Seath's behalf, also eliminating a tax burden on society as hardworking Americans would be supporting him through welfare. These six individuals also become prisoners of the state, preventing future generations of degenerate offspring from populating society. Is it sad to see someone so brutally murdered? Yes. But where were the parents? Too bad we live in such a compassionate society. I would make their deaths slow and painful like Seath's in a Jerry Springer like affair. Break their knee caps, pull their finger nails out, pour acid on their skin, feed them meth... but let it all be televised. Let other children see what drug use leads to. Obviously anyone with a conscience wouldn't engage in such altrocities against another life... but mix in some mind altering substances (yes, weed included), and you just don't know what a person is capable of. RIP Seath Jackson...

umm so one possible future tax burden eliminated in exchange for 6 new tax burdens...not sure how you see that as saving tax money...and I feel like showing children a televised torture session would be just as detrimental as any drug use. There are also NORMAL ways to educate people about drug us. Also, people do engage in these atrocities without drugs mixed in. Your logic is flawed and your sadistic torture ideas are insane

For real??? Weed a mind altering drug??? LOL You must put the meth pipe down... If they had been smoking pot... they probably would have never made it past the x box and couch.!

Unconstitutional to sentence someone under 18 to death? How ironic - they had no problem!I hope someone pays an insider to shank these sub-human shit bags to death, to pick up where the "justice" system leaves off if needed. We might as well flush society away if we can't make the tough choices to rid the world of those who victimize us. Either that or let them bunk with all the anti-death penalty liberals out there.

Umm, not sure if you people are aware or not but as of 2006 or so it is unconstitutional to sentence someone under 18 to death.

Sweet Baby Jesus - that poor young man's life was forever taken away by a bunch of losers and all for what? A 15 yr old girl that doesn't know her a$$ from a hole in the ground? Are you kidding me? As the mother of a 7 yr old boy, I know Seath's Mama must be absolutely heartbroken over this tragedy. Shame on these animals and their families. If there was more emphasis on humanity and respect for human life within the family homes, something like this would never have happened. God bless you Seath. I hurt for you, your family and friends.

So sad. A life cut short due to rage. I feel for the family who has to deal with the loss of their son in such a brutal way. No amount of anger is going to bring him back but I hope in some way the killers suffer, whether it be life in prison, the death penalty or just some fate to remove people like this from our planet.

Fast trial, and if convicted, a few years being rape-meat and then execute these tatooed & pierced slacker scum post-haste (and their parents should LEAVE TOWN).

what does being tatooed & pierced have to do with anything?

My God, what is this civilization coming to??? Put all those punk ass kids in gen pop so they can feel the pain of being brutally violated, and totally helpless. Find the most ruthless villains FDOC has to offer and tell them its lunchtime. Fuck those kids, they are a waste of our oxygen. Their parents should be maimed and sterilized for raising them.

I happen to be a parent of a 14 year old and then I also happen to be a parent that drove by the horrific scene as the investigators sifted throught what remains they could find. I agree with what a few people wrote and it was sad that people could do such a horrible thing. I mean if you break up, fine life is suppose to go on. If EVERYONE killed everyone they broke up with, where would our population be?? It is a sad rivetting story that the poor childs family will NEVER be able to lay him to rest BC of some pantie waste kids and an under achiever adult! ALL invovlved should get death penalty in my book.... This hit way to close to my house! Thank ya, Mommy2BandB

I guess brutalizing your fellow man is way easier than simply breaking up. Please, do not let the 15 year old waste of space get away with this murder because of her age. I guess any hope for human decency have been flushed! RIP Seath Jackson.

No, it says "When Jackson tried to flee, Soto held him down while Bargo continued to shoot" please learn to read. That was directly copied and pasted

let's hope the media isn't too busy executing casey Anthony and portrays these low lifes as the cold blooded killers they are so they can meet the executioner face to face. before welfare took over raising your children children murdering children,and committing adult crimes was un heard of. parents prevented their children from going in the wrong direction via proper punishment a slap on the ass or whatever worked.now these thugs killed a young boy and for what ? their futures consist of life in prison without parole or the death penalty.obviously the brutality of this crime merits the death penalty for all of them rather than life in prison so they can sponge off the tax-payerss the rest of their lives.

Is it just me, or does it look like these inbred fucks might have spent too much time near the filter of the gene pool?

hahaha

Umm, It has nothing to do with it, I was friends with everyone involved except charlie and inbred nothing, I dont know what you have been hearing, But people from Ocala are not like people from West virginia.

Sag878991

NO??? Are People in Ocala kid killers??? It has nothing to do with where you live it is where you come from. Your parents. It don't say to much for those teens in Ocala or her stepfather that help dispose of him. Kudos for the Mom that turned her son in. That is what a parent is supposed to do. Teach their children right from wrong... even if they are the one that is in the wrong.

Death penalty is coming for these inbred trailer trash people. Reminds me of the movie Bully. Im guessing most of the kids were losers and did not succeed at anything of substance. Bad grades, lousy athletes, no talent at all. Looks like these alleged murderers are going to provide some fresh boy meat for bubba in prison.

You can tell alot about someone by seeing who there friends are , that would make you a loser .

Schroedermail

yea, they're crazier and way dumber. These hillbilly whack jobs just killed this kid and all you can do is fight over the gene pool. He got killed over some white trash, trailer park skank, that was going nowhere in her life, except over to the next trailer.This was a planned murder and nobody did anything to stop it. This is unbelievable, these murderers should be hung and then burned at the stake!
