The Horrifying Murder Of 15-Year-Old Seath Jackson

In April of 2011, Seath Jackson, hailing from Belleview, Florida, found himself enticed by his former paramour, Amber Wright, to a mobile residence — a place where a cohort of adolescents ruthlessly extinguished his life. Seath Jackson, a resident of Ocala, Florida, never reached the milestone of his 16th birthday. In 2011, he was ensnared in a house of morbidity by his ex-girlfriend, falling prey to a merciless onslaught orchestrated by a group of young men. The instigator of this brutality perpetrated the murder in a ferocious fit of wrath, culminating in the macabre act of incinerating Jackson's remains on a pyre.

The perpetrators and conspirators responsible for Jackson's demise were all minors. However, upon apprehension for their unspeakable transgressions, they swiftly succumbed to internal discord, each turning against the other. Subsequently, they received substantial prison sentences, and the ringleader faced the ultimate penalty — the death sentence.

This narrative unravels the disconcerting tale of the demise of Seath Jackson.

A Trifecta of Adolescent Drama Culminating in Tragedy

Seath Tyler Jackson, born on February 3, 1996, in Belleview, Florida, led the life of an ordinary teenager. Growing up alongside his two elder siblings in nearby Summerfield, Marion County, Jackson attended Belleview High School with aspirations of becoming a UFC fighter, as reported by The Cinemaholic.

Jackson's romantic involvement with 15-year-old Amber Wright persisted for approximately three months. However, suspicions of infidelity on Wright's part with an 18-year-old named Michael Bargo led to a bitter dissolution of their relationship in March 2011. The atmosphere became toxic with elements of marijuana consumption and attempts to evoke jealousy. In typical teenage fashion, their grievances spilled onto social media platforms, particularly Facebook, becoming a tit-for-tat battleground, as per ABC News.

Meanwhile, Michael Bargo harbored an intense animosity towards Jackson, falsely believing that he had mistreated Wright. In April, Bargo, openly armed and with a history of theft, confronted Jackson at his residence, issuing a chilling threat: "I have a bullet with your name on it."

Bargo's posturing and penchant for emulating gangster rap videos were soon to have dire consequences. In early April, Bargo, along with his accomplice Kyle Hooper, aged 16, challenged Jackson and his companion to a physical altercation at the residence of a mutual acquaintance, Charlie Ely. This locale, a rural trailer in Summerfield, set the stage for a tragic sequence of events. Upon approaching the residence, Jackson and his friend heard a gunshot, prompting them to retreat. Bargo, in possession of a .22 caliber Heritage revolver, had discharged a round to dissuade them.

On April 17, 2011, Bargo conveyed his intent to Hooper to end Jackson's life. Hooper, aggrieved by Jackson's alleged threat to burn his house down, joined the conspiracy. Bargo, along with co-conspirators Kyle Hooper, Amber Wright, Justin Soto (20 years old), and Charlie Ely (18 years old), meticulously plotted the murder of 15-year-old Jackson. Left to their own devices in the idyllic environs of Central Florida, these teenagers casually orchestrated the demise of their peer.

Executing Bargo's plan, Wright engaged in text messaging with Jackson on the fateful evening. She lured him to Ely's residence, where the ambush unfolded. Tragically disarmed by Wright's assurances, Jackson, along with a female friend, entered the trailer. Hooper attacked Jackson with a wooden object, while Bargo, armed with his .22 caliber weapon, inflicted wounds. Despite being injured, Jackson managed to stagger outside, only to be tackled and beaten by Soto in the front yard. Bargo shot him once again. Subsequently, Bargo, Soto, and Hooper carried Jackson back into the house, placing him in the bathtub. Bargo continued his assault, ultimately concluding Jackson's life by shooting him in the face. Court documents attest to this gruesome act. Bargo and Soto then disposed of Jackson's lifeless body, wrapped in a sleeping bag, into a blazing fire pit. During the ensuing night, while Bargo and Wright retired to rest, Hooper oversaw the burning pyre in the backyard.

If Jackson held any glimmer of hope for intervention by a responsible adult, it was tragically misplaced. Shockingly, James Havens, the 37-year-old former partner of Amber Wright's mother, was privy to the nefarious plot in advance. On the morning of April 18, Havens arrived with cinder blocks and cables in his truck. Bleach was employed to erase evidence, and the remnants from the fire pit were shoveled into three paint buckets, loaded onto Havens' truck. Bargo requested Havens to transport him and Soto to a secluded water-filled quarry in Ocala, where the bucketed remains of Seath Jackson sank into the depths.
