Police annouced Friday, that 15-year-old Larnell Sillah would be charged with homicide for the murder of Sampleton; 18-year-old Romaine Stewart and 15-year-old Achiel Morgan were charged with armed robbery. Both, Sillah and Morgan will be charged as adults, in this case. 

Authorities say Sampleton participated in a sneaker trading game and was an avid collector of high-end sneakers, nice clothing and electronics. Police believe Sampleton's belongings may have given the suspects motivation to rob him.
