BILOXI, Miss. -- Police arrested five teens charged with capital murder after a robbery in Biloxi, Mississippi turned deadly Monday afternoon, Feb. 24.

Investigators said they robbed a girl under the age of 18 and threatened her at gunpoint.

A fight broke out and the victim was shot and killed.

Police identified the five teens as 17-year-old Yakeshia Blackmon, 15-year-old Willow Blackmon, 15-year-old Jasmine Kelley, 17-year-old Jarvis Cook, and 17-year-old Jaquez Porter.
