2 Teens Being Charged as Adults in Fort Lauderdale Man's Murder

Two teens charged in the murder of a man in Fort Lauderdale are heading from the juvenile detention center to jail now that they'll be tried as a adults.

Dallas Holston and Sedrick Joseph, both 14, have been charged in the April murder of 52-year-old Gary Martin.

Both remain behind bars without bond, despite efforts by their attorneys to have them released while they wait for trial. Holston's attorney said his client is "a little kid in a man's world with no business being in there right now."

Police said cameras captured the two teens running from the crime scene near Northwest 22nd Street and 24th Avenue. Detectives later found Martin shot to death in his car near the Everglades Heights apartment complex.

Officials haven't given a possible motive for the shooting.
