Two Florida teenagers were found shot dead on Christmas night in an undeveloped subdivision, police said.
Police found the bodies on Sunday night after being tipped off by a caller, according to Fox 35. The area where the bodies were found, known as “the Compound,” is a secluded subdivision in Palm Bay. The identities of the teenagers, ages 14 and 16, were not immediately released, nor were any further details of the circumstances of their deaths.

“The Compound has been obviously known for four-wheeling and for families going out on the four-wheelers. I don’t have an answer as to what the teens were doing out here at this time, especially given the weather,” Palm Bay Police Department Lt. Michael Roberts said.
He said the investigation is “very active” but that the area could not be closed off due to its size.
“Due to the size of the Compound and given the sheer volume of 12.2 square miles, it’s almost physically impossible to shut down a land mass of that size,” Roberts said.

Though the teenagers were said to have been killed by gunshots, police did not say the number or location of the wounds. They are appealing to the public for help in the investigation.
“Every available resource to the Palm Bay Police Department is getting used at this point to try to find out any motives or any person or persons of interest,” Roberts said.
