"As a Lake Worth Beach teen attempted to drag a man's body into a canal on the night of Aug. 20, witnesses rebuked him for his actions, according to court documents made public Friday. The teen had a pointed reply.

"If he can kill my brother, why can't I kill him?" the teen responded, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office arrest report.

Luis Miguel Mejia Granados died Aug. 20 near Lake Worth Beach. The teen is accused of shooting him, then fleeing with his body, after a dispute...He changed his reason why he killed Granados--he was hitting on his girlfriend.
