According to prosecutors, Demons, along with another person named Cortland Henry (YNW Bortlen), allegedly shot the victims in a Jeep after a recording session in Fort Lauderdale.

After the killings, Demons and Henry are said to have disposed of the bodies in an area near the Everglades and staged the scene to make it look like a shooting incident.

The prosecution claims that the murders were gang-related, while the defense argues that the close friendship between Demons and the victims undermines the credibility of the gang action theory.

Prosecutor Kristine Bradley asserted that the evidence placed Demons in the back seat of the Jeep holding a gun, suggesting his involvement in the crimes.

The defense team, led by Stuart Adelstein, has raised doubts about the state's case, citing conflicting evidence and a lack of substantial proof.
