“This is a very sad situation. Anytime young people are involved with a crime of this magnitude, we all need to reflect on what we are doing as a society. We are very fortunate in North Port that this is a very rare occurrence. With that said, our focus right now is justice for our victim. If you come to this City and take a life, you can expect to pay a very substantial price.” Chief Todd Garrison.
