According to investigators, teens Nehemiah, Christian, and Matthew were coming from a house party at Turpan’s home where police said Pete allegedly served alcohol to the juveniles. Investigators said the three teens left home to buy ping pong balls for beer pong.
Port St Lucy police said cell phone data and surveillance video recordings from Walmart showed the teens were driving through the parking lot just minutes before the fatal accident.
Christian’s blood alcohol percentage was said to be 0.217, more than double the legal limit of 0.08. Nehemiah was 0.092, according to court records, according to TCPalm.
WTVX West Palm reported that police said in a statement:
