A second teen charged in the fatal shooting of another teen during a botched robbery of an underage drug dealer in Aventura in January made his first appearance in a Miami-Dade court Wednesday, where he was ordered held without bond.
Silas Lee Spence, 18, is charged with first-degree murder in the Jan. 19 killing of 18-year-old Omar Darwish. A second suspect, 19-year-old Lucas George Seeger, is also charged with first-degree murder.
The arrest report says Spence and Seeger met up with Darwish and another teenager for a drug deal in the parking lot of the LA Fitness at 3455 Northeast 207th Street. The plan was to rob the other teen and take the THC vaporizer cartridges they were allegedly bringing, according to the report.
At one point during the encounter, Spence handed M.G. a bullet and said "I'm going to pay you with this," the reports said.
Spence got spooked when he thought Darwish had a gun, and that's when detectives say Spence shot Darwish in the neck. It was a fatal shot and Darwish ended up bleeding to death in the parking lot, the report said.
Police arrested Seeger two weeks ago, and he remains behind bars without bond. Spence was booked into Miami-Dade jail on Tuesday and was ordered held without bond at a court hearing Wednesday.
