JACKSONVILLE, Fla.

A 12-year old boy has been arrested on a murder charge.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office arrested Sharron Sherman Townsend in the killing of 54-year-old Thomas Trent last month. Trent was homeless.

Early in the investigation, police posted surveillance video to YouTube showing two minors walking down the street.

Authorities identified one of the adolescents, a 16-year-old already in jail on unrelated charges. He led police to Townsend, according to detectives.

Police then questioned Townsend who they said admitted to being in the video and to shooting Trent one time in the head.

The Sheriff's Office said neither the teen or Townsend knew Trent and that the killing was a random act of violence. Police said robbery, or any other crime, was not a motive.

Townsend, according to reports, had been arrested in the past on burglary charges.

In before the posty references.

Kids are growing up so quick these days.

Sure he killed someone, but the kid still seems fairly homless.

12 years old, past burglary charges, if found guilty of this "random act of violence" I have no issues with gas chambering the punk. Two people shooting another person, presumably with the same gun is not random. At least not the second shooter.

Pretty sure this is a bad reaction to too much caffeine and sugar in soda. If I were his family I would sue

Coca-Cola is a hell of a drug.
