On August 7, 2024, 17-year-old Odie Carbajal of Crescent City was shot and killed during an attempted robbery in Pierson, Florida. Prosecutors say the meeting was arranged over Instagram for the purchase of a quarter pound of marijuana. When Carbajal arrived, Tania Lopez Morales, 17, and two 15-year-olds approached his vehicle. Morales and 15-year-old Martin Martinez allegedly pointed firearms at Carbajal intending to rob him, and gunfire struck Carbajal and an 18-year-old passenger in the leg; a third passenger was unharmed.

Carbajal’s vehicle was found crashed along the road; deputies found him unresponsive in the driver’s seat and he was pronounced dead at 10:39 p.m. after multiple gunshot wounds. Two 9mm firearms and spent shell casings were recovered. Morales turned herself in and was charged with first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder; Martinez was arrested and charged with one count of first-degree felony murder and two counts of attempted felony murder. Detectives say evidence including data from Martinez’s cell phone links him to the homicide, and investigators are still determining the roles of the other two 15-year-olds and whether they will face charges.

Does anyone have information about the meeting location or saw the vehicle the night of the shooting?
