Baker sheriff: 5 arrested in fatal home invasion Sunday

Baker County sheriff's deputies have arrested five people including two young teenagers as investigation continues into a home invasion shootout Sunday that left one man dead and two others wounded.

Corey Lauramore, 18, died after being shot multiple times at the home in the 9300 block of Baker County Road 125 in Glen St. Mary, the Sheriff's Office said. 

Also shot multiple times were William Lauramore, 24, and a 16-year-old boy, whose name was withheld by the Sheriff's Office.

Both were taken to UF Health Jacksonville. William Lauramore was treated and released into police custody. The 16-year-old remained hospitalized, according to the Sheriff's Office.

The Sheriff's Office said the shootout stemmed from a feud between two groups fueled by derogatory and threatening rhetoric exchanged over social media.

About 4 a.m. Sunday seven people armed with firearms and wearing masks forced their way into the home. They confronted four men living there. The men armed themselves and exchanged gunfire with the intruders, according to the Sheriff's Office.

The intruders fled at high speed in a car intercepted by deputies responding to a report of gunshots at the home, the Sheriff's Office said. They arrested the following on home-invasion charges: William Lauramore, Zachary Bell, 20, Joseph Albino, 24, Christian Watkins, 19, and a 15-year-old boy.
