MELBOURNE, Fla. – The suspected accomplice of a Rockledge man who was killed by a resident during a drug-related home invasion in Melbourne has been charged with the death, police reports show.
Ryan Robert Winfough, 19, of Rockledge, was charged with second-degree murder and home invasion robbery in connection with the botched March 16 break-in at a home in the 1200 block of North Wickham Road, Melbourne police reported.
Winfough was charged — even though he did not pull the trigger — under a Florida lawthat allows suspects to be arrested for murder if someone dies during the commission of a crime, according to News 6 partner Florida Today.
