Police had been looking for the suspects since the robbery and shooting occurred and have been following several leads since the start of the new year.

A

$20,000 watch stolen from Josephine's owner was pawned by a person

later identified as Quinton Redell Sylvestre. Police also found a

backpack filled with three guns and a hockey mask at the home of

Sylvestre's girlfriend. Ballistics tests found that one of the guns, a

9mm belonging to Samuel Magic Walker, was the murder weapon.

The

three suspects were already being held for a January 25 residential

burglary in Boca Raton. They now face additional first-degree murder

charges.
