Authorities did not release the 16-year-old or 17-year-old suspects' identities because they are both minors.
Diaz was booked into the John Benoit Detention Center for murder, robbery, and conspiracy. The 17-year-old and 16-year-old suspects were booked into juvenile hall for murder, robbery, and conspiracy, the sheriff’s department said.
