A group of five Florida men may be spending the rest of their lives behind bars for the drive-by shooting death of a 4-year-old girl.
On Wednesday, Andrew Thompson, 26, James Denson, 28, Jaylin Bedward, 26, Quandarious Hammond, 32, and Zvante Sampson, 34, were found guilty by a jury of their peers in Hillsborough County on counts of murder in the first degree , attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and firing a gun into an occupied vehicle.
The incident took the life of 4-year-old Suni Bell and endangered the child's uncle and mother, who were also in the car when a fusillade of bullets was unleashed that fateful day.
"Suni Bell should have just started third grade, laughing, learning, and enjoying all the things she loved," 13th Judicial Circuit State Attorney Suzy Lopez said
