OCALA, Fla. -- Six people are accused of killing a 15-year-old boy, burning his body in a fire pit and putting his remains into paint cans.

Marion County Sherriff's investigators made the arrests Tuesday night. They say Seath Tyler Jackson was beaten and shot multiple times Sunday night at a home in Summerfield.

Jackson was reported missing Monday.

On Tuesday, a woman told deputies her 16-year-old son had witnessed Jackson's murder. The teen, who has been charged with murder, told detectives how the group plotted and carried out the crime.

Investigators also arrested a 15-year-old girl, 18-year-old Charlie Kay Ely, 18-year-old Michael Shane Bargo, 20-year-old Justin Solo and 37-year-old James Young Havens III. Havens is the step-father of the 15-year-old and the boy who talked to investigators.

Deputies are searching for Jackson's remains.
