A Lehigh Acres teen told prosecutors in January that the four Sean Taylor murder suspects came to her house the night they allegedly fatally shot the Washington Redskins star. Areyle Boston, 18, of 307 Homer Ave., said Eric Rivera, 17, Venjah Hunte, 20, Charles Wardlow, 18, all of Fort Myers, and Jason Mitchell, 19, of Lehigh Acres, came to her house Nov. 26, the night police believe the four drove to Miami and killed Taylor. Taylor was shot in the leg during a botched burglary and he died the next day. Her statement was released today as part of a public information records request by The News-Press.

According to Boston’s statement, the four left burglary tools at her house and her uncle took them away, saying she would get in trouble if police found them. Boston said she didn’t know the four were suspects in the murder then and she said they never contacted her after they were arrested. She said Jason Mitchell’s cousin tried to get Mitchell in contact with her, but she didn’t talk with him.
