Florida teen charged with two counts of first-degree murder

His first appearance lasted all of two minutes before he left the courtroom at the Palm Beach County Jail.

Circuit Judge Caroline Shepherd ordered him held without possibility of bond on all three counts.

The boy will get a full bond hearing at the downtown West Palm Beach courthouse, but no date has been set.

Clark is accused of killing Andrew Laudano, 21, and Ricky Miner, 23, in the Melrose Park development west of Boynton Beach. The men were found in a Dodge Charger both were shot in the head — Laudano twice and Miner once, according to an arrest report.

Clark’s grandmother attended the hearing but did not step up to the microphone and offered no comment to reporters.

Clark’s attorney, KaiLi Fouts, said she will be waiting until discovery to make any comments about the facts of the case. The pretrial procedure gives both sides a chance to obtain evidence from the other.

“He’s a 14-year-old child,” she said. “That’s what we’re dealing with right now.”

It is standard procedure for juveniles to be separated from the general prison population while in jail, Fouts said.

Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputies arrested the boy at Palm Beach International Airport as he tried to board a flight to St. Louis and was taken to the Juvenile Assessment Center, while a grand jury made a determination on the charges.

Clark bragged about the killings and took friends on a shopping spree after the men were found dead, according to a law-enforcement source.

The boy took friends to malls in Boynton Beach and Wellington and used a large roll of cash consisting of $20 and $100 bills to buy an Xbox video game console, valued at $442.27, and expensive sneakers for himself, two witnesses told police.

He gave one of the boys cash to buy his own shoes and casually said “don’t worry about it,” the report said.

Four days after the shootings, a person who knew Clark and Laudano showed detectives a text message in which the boy bragged about the slayings and stealing $5,000 from the men, according to a law-enforcement source.

Clark told sheriff’s detectives that he would buy drugs from Laudano and said the man carried a handgun and “routinely” flashed large sums of cash. He claimed to have not seen the man for a week prior to the killings.

The boy also told police that he had run away from his grandmother’s house, wasn’t attending school and didn’t know how he was going to make money. He denied involvement in the killings.

Another witness told police that Clark had planned to rob Laudano a month prior to the slaying. Multiple witnesses had also seen Clark holding a handgun with a laser-sight attachment that he said he stole from a vehicle, the report said.

Clark was found in possession of a Michael Kors rose-colored wristwatch that friends and family members said belonged to Laudano, the report said.
